To  my  Comrades  of  the  Army  and  Navy: 

As  a  convenient  reference  to  all  matters  pertaining  to  the 
Civil  War,  the  G.  A.  E.  and  Kindred  Societies,  I  consider  Carna- 
han's  "Manual"  a  most  valuable  work. 

It  has  never  before  been  my  pleasure  to  find  so  much  valuable 
information  couched  in  such  concise  and  agreeable  form. 

The  record  of  service  feature  in  connection  therewith  is  espe- 
cially commendable ;  affording  as  it  does  an  opportunity  for  pre- 
serving to  our  children  and  our  children's  children  a  history  of 
our  personal  services  during  those  four  bleeding  years  of  civil  strife, 
in  connection  with  a  history  of  the  War  itself  and  a  history  of  our 
Grandest  of  Organizations, —  the  proper  place  for  it. 

In  F.  C.  &  L.,

jo  the  brave  "boys  in  blue,"  who,  on  land  or  sea 
participated  in  that  memorable  struggle  for  the  preserva= 
tion  of  our  TJYiiori,  and  to  the  mothers,  wives,  daughters, 
and  friends,  who,  at  home  and  in  the  hospital,  so  nobly 
did  their  part,  this  little  volume  is  respectfully  dedicated

GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC

CHAPTER  I. 

CAUSES   WHICH    LED    TO    THE    ORGANIZATION    OF    THE  G.  A.  R.  AND    ITS 

CO-WORKERS. 

OVER  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  the  people 
of  the  North  were  startled  as  never  before 
by  the  report  that  Fort  Sumter  had  been 
fired  upon,  and  that  the  war  between  the  North 
and  the  South  had  indeed  commenced  in  earnest. 
A  call  for  volunteers  to  defend  the  "  Stars  and 
Stripes"  was  made.  That  call  was  answered. 
Brave  men  left  the  farm,  the  workshop,  the  office, 
the  store,  home,  and  loved  ones — everything,  and 
rushed  forward  to  protect  the  nation's  honor.  Battles  were  lost — 
battles  were  won.  Long  and  weary  were  the  marches,  and  fierce 
and  bloody  were  the  battles  that  marked  the  years  from  1861 
to  1865.  The  comrade  who,  at  morning,  answered  "  here,"  at 

13 


14 


CAUSES   WHICH    LED   TO    THE   ORGANIZATION   OF 


eventide  could  nevermore  respond.  Never  before  in  the  annals 
of  history  was  any  similar  struggle  waged  on  so  grand  a  scale  or 
with  so  great  a  destruction  of  men  and  material 
as  in  this  "  the  great  American  conflict." 

At  last  the  final  day  came.  The  South,  no 
longer  able  to  withstand  the  prowess  and  over- 
whelming forces  of  the  North,  was  compelled  to 
surrender,  and  then  "  The  Brave  Boys  in  Blue  " 
marched  home  again;  but  not  until  nearly  half 
a  million  of  their  number  were  killed  outright 
on  the  field,  died  of  disease  and  wounds,  or  were 
crippled  or  maimed  for  life. 

Many  returned  home  to  find  themselves  penniless  and  helpless, 
but  strong  in  their  determination  to  grapple  with  the  world.  The 
promises  made  to  the  men  who  left  their  families  to  go  forth  to 
fight  for  the  integrity  of  the  nation  were  but  poorly  kept,  and 
though  some  were  provided  with  employment  by  the  Government, 
and  many  patriotic  citizens,  who  remembered  and  appreciated 
their  services,  came  nobly  forward  and  gave  them  the  preference 
in  their  enterprises,  still  a  great  number  remained  unemployed  and 
unprovided  for.  This  state  of  affairs  caused  deep  anxiety  in  the 
hearts  of  their  more  fortunate  comrades,  who  had  stood  shoulder 
to  shoulder  with  these  men  during  the  death  storm  of  battle,  but 
who  had  come  out  of  the  war  with  happier  fortune,  and  who  were 
now  better  able  to  cope  with  the  world. 

It  was  this  condition  of  affairs  that  caused  the  pioneers  in  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  to  conceive  the  idea  of  forming  an 
organization  that  would,  to  a  certain  extent,  look  after  the  disabled 
and  unemployed  veterans,  and  to  the  welfare  of  the  widows  and 
orphans  of  those  who  had  fallen  in  the  conflict.  Such  were  the 
circumstances  which  led  to  the  organization  of  the  G.  A.  R.,  made 
brothers  under  the  cloud  of  war,  brothers  in  a  thousand  common 
dangers,  brothers  in  a  thousand  common  sufferings,  brothers  they 
must  remain  in  the  sunshine  of  peace. 


THE   G.    A.    R.    AND    ITS   CO-WORKERS. 


15 


The  history  of  "  The  Great  American  Conflict "  would  be  incom- 
plete without  a  record  of  the  heroism  and  self-denying  deeds  of 
the  mothers,  wives,  and  daughters  of  those  who 
sprang  to  arms  to  support  the  integrity  of  the 
Republic   and   the    honor   of   the   "  Stars   and 
Stripes." 

Thousands  of  Northern  women  of  all  classes 
and  every  rank  of  society,  willingly  sacrificing 
much  of  what  is  dear  to  woman,  urged  their 
friends  and  loved  ones  to  rally  around  the  flag ; 
and  they  eagerly  sought  the  privilege,  as  they 
deemed  it,  of  doing  what  they  could  for  the 
cause.  At  home  they  managed  the  business, 
the  factory,  or  the  farm,  at  the  same  time  caring  for  the  little  ones ; 
and  when  tidings  of  defeat  or  disaster  reached  them,  their  hearts 
trembled  with  anxiety  for  the  welfare  of  their  loved  ones  and  the 
success  of  the  cause. 

Every  moment  of  the  day  and  night  of  that  trying  time,  hearts 
were  lifted  up  in  silent  prayer  to  the  "  God  of  Battles  "  that  the 
right  might  prevail  and  the  absent  ones  be  returned  safe  in  peace 
and  honor.  In  the  stillness  of  the  night,  as  the  little  ones  were  put 
to  rest,  their  young  voices  were  taught  to  lisp  a  prayer,  that  "  God 
might  spare  papa  and  preserve  the  Union."  Nor  was  this  all. 
What  a  woman  does,  she  does  with  her  whole  heart.  Almost  every 
home  in  the  North  was  turned  into  a  manufactory  of  lint;  the 
closets  and  chests  were  ransacked  and  valued  articles  of  linen  were 
cheerfully  brought  forth  and  sacrificed  to  be  shredded  into  lint 
for  "  the  poor  wounded  soldiers." 

Societies  were  organized  throughout  the  country,  and  the  women 
vied  with  each  other  in  offering  delicacies  and  dainties,  to  be  sent 
to  the  hospitals  for  the  weak  and  suffering  who  had  been  wounded 
on  Southern  battlefields.  How  devotedly  they  worked  in  the 
interest  of  the  "  Christian  Commission  "  and  the  "  Sanitary  Com- 
mission." Their  busv  fingers  even  found  time,  in  numerous  cases,  to 


CAUSES    WHICH    LED   TO    THE    ORGANIZATION    OF 


pen  words  of  cheer  and  encouragement  to  the  brave  men,  strangers 
to  them,  except  that  they  were  bound  together  by  the  strong  bonds 
of  loyalty  and  patriotism. 

Nor  can  we  forget  those  dauntless  ones,  who,  not  tied  by  the 
cares  of  a  family,  so  gladly  volunteered  for  active  service  as  nurses 
on  the  battlefield  and  in  the  hospital ;  who  left  the  ease  and  refine- 
ment of  home  to  suffer  toil  and  privations  to  administer  to  the 
wants  of  the  wounded.  As  ministering  angels,  they  passed  from 
cot  to  cot,  stopping  here  to  breathe  a  word  of  encouragement  to  a 
young  sufferer  racked  with  pain  and  far  away  from  friends  and 
home,  and  pausing  there  to  raise  the  pillow  of  another  that  he 
might  rest  a  little  more  comfortably.  At  times  she  was  to  be  found 
writing  a  last  message  to  loved  ones  from  one  about  passing  away, 
and  whispering  words  of  hope  and  consolation — in  short,  in.  a 
thousand  different  ways  doing  what  only  a  woman,  with  her  tact, 
gentleness,  and  sympathy,  can  do. 

After  the  struggle  was  over  and  the  sword 
was  turned  into  the  pruning-hook — when  the 
gallant  defenders  returned  to  the  vocations  of 
peace;  alas,  many  of  them,  incapacitated  by 
wounds  or  disease,  were  unable  to  resume  their 
former  calling,  and  helplessly  saw  their  families 
without  proper  provision  for  their  maintenance, 
the  women,  faithful  to  their  interests  and  true 
in  their  devotion,  sprang  to  the  rescue  and 
organized  the  various  auxiliaries  known  as  the 
"  Woman's  Relief  Corps,"  "  Loyal  Ladies' 
League,"  or  the  "  Ladies  of  the  G.  A.  R.,"  etc.,  etc. 

The  lessons  of  patriotism  learned  at  the  knee  of  their  mothers 
were  not  lost  on  the  children  of  the  soldiers.  On  the  return  of 
their  fathers  and  brothers  from  the  conflict,  the  stories  of  battles 
and  victory  were  told  and  retold  by  the  fireside,  and  such  was 
their  charm  that  they  were  ever  new.  Their  words  burned  into 
the  hearts  of  the  young  listeners,  and  they  made  such  an  impres-

sion  that  with  advancing  years  the  children  came  to  feel  that 
they,  too,  could  claim  a  common  interest  and  heritage  in  the  deeds 
of  their  fathers.  This  feeling  seemed  to  unite  them  and  form  a 
common  tie,  leading  eventually  to  the  organization  of  the  "  Sons 
of  Veterans,"  "  Ladies'  Aid  Societies,"  and  the  "  Daughters  of 
Veterans,"  respectively. 


CHAPTER  II. 


"THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC." 


BADGE. 


THE  cradle  of  the  "  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic  "  was  a  sol- 
dier's  tent.     On  the  march 
to  Meridian  was  born  the  idea  that 
was  to  crystallize  and  develop,  and 
finally  produce  that  brotherhood  of 
soldiers  known  as  the  G.  A.  R. 

During  Sherman's  expedition  to 
Meridian,  in  February,  1864,  Maj. 
B.  F.  Stephenson  and  Chaplain  W. 
J.  Rutledge  became  tentmates  and 
close  friends.  As  they  spoke  in 
glad  anticipation  of  the  time  when 
they  might  exchange  the  hardships 
and  trials  of  the  field  for  the  shel- 
ter and  comfort  of  their  homes, 
Chaplain  Rutledge  suggested  that 
when  the  troops  were  finally  mus- 
tered out  of  the  service,  it  would 
be  but  natural  to  suppose  that  men 
who  had  shared  so  much  suffer- 
ing, privation,  and  danger  would 


wish  to  form  some  sort  of  associa- 
tion, that  they  might  meet  again  to 
preserve  the  friendships  and  memo- 
ries of  the  past.  This  topic  became 
the  subject  of  frequent  conversation

"THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC.**  & 

and  they  agreed  to  assist  one  another  in  the  development  of  such 
a  project,  if  they  were  spared. 

This  mutual  agreement  was  not  forgotten,  especially  by  Dr. 
Stephenson,  when  he  returned  home  after  the  close  of  his 
army  service.  The  more  he  thought  of  an  organization  of  per- 
petual comradeship,  the  more  he  was  enthused  with  the  idea. 
He  could  not  forget  the  many  deeds  of  valor  daily  performed 
by  his  comrades,  or  the  many  bloody  battlefields  won  by  their 
prowess.  When  his  thoughts  returned  to  the  scenes  of  that 
trying  time,  he  could  again  hear  the  roar  of  his  comrades' 
deadly  artillery,  the  terrible  crash  and  racket  of  their  muskets, 
and  the  ringing  and  clanging  of  their  sabres,  when  they  crossed 
with  those  of  the  enemy.  He  could  again  see  the  many  battle- 
fields covered  with  the  dead  and  wounded,  and  the  ground  made 
red  with  their  hearts'  blood.  He  could  again  hear  the  vain  cry 
for  "  water  "  to  sustain  the  fast  ebbing  life  stream,  and  the  sacred 
messages  whispered  in  his  ear  by  sufferers  racked  with  pain  and 
far  away  from  home  and  loved  ones,  as  he  bent  over  them  in  per- 
formance of  the  duties  required  by  his  profession.  His  duty,  as  a 
physician,  often  called  him  to  the  bedside  of  comrades,  who  had 
returned  home  from  the  service  crippled  and  maimed  for  life,  and 
these  interviews  constantly  reminded  him  of  "  the  groan  of  the 
gray-haired  sire  on  learning  the  sad  news ;  the  indescribable  look 
of  despair  of  the  widow,  on  learning  that  her  last  prop  was  taken 
from  her ;  the  shriek  of  the  newly-made  bride ;  the  suppressed 
anguish  of  the  betrothed  maiden ;  and  the  piteous  wail  of  the 
bereaved  mother,  as,  with  quivering  lips,  she  imparted  the  sad 
news  to  the  little  ones,  who  henceforth  would  be  fatherless,  and, 
perhaps,  homeless." 

Considerable  correspondence  on  the  subject  of  the  organization  of 
the  Order,  which  is  now  known  as  the  "  Grand  Army  of  the  Repub- 
lic," passed  between  Dr.  Stephenson  and  Mr.  Rutledge,  until  they 
met,  by  appointment,  in  Springfield,  111.,  in  March,  1866,  to  arrange 
for  the  compilation  of  a  ritual  for  the  proposed  Order.  The  first 


20  "THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC." 

Post  was  organized  at  Decatur,  111.,  April  6,  1866,  by  Maj.  B.  F. 
Stephenson,  and  a  ritual  was  printed  under  his  supervision.  The 
first  State  Convention  was  held  in  Springfield,  111.,  July  12,  1866. 
As  Commander-in-Chief,  Dr.  Stephenson  issued  a  general  order, 
dated  October  31,  1866,  calling  the  first  National  Convention  of 
the  "  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic."  The  convention  met  in  In- 
dianapolis, Ind.,  November  20,  1866,  and  representatives  were 
present  from  Illinois,  Missouri,  Kansas,  Wisconsin,  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Iowa,  Kentucky,  Indiana,  and  the  District  of 
Columbia. 

OBJECTS   OF   THE    ORDER. 

The  objects  of  the  G-.  A.  R.,  as  originally  set  forth  in  their  Con- 
stitution, are :  First,  the  preservation  of  those  kind  and  fraternal 
feelings,  which  have  bound  together,  with  the  strong  cords  of  love 
and  affection,  the  comrades  in  arms  of  many  battles,  sieges,  and 
marches ;  second,  to  make  these  ties  available  in  works  and  results 
of  kindness,  of  favor  and  material  aid  to  those  in  need  of  assist- 
ance ;  third,  to  make  provision,  where  it  is  not  already  done,  for 
the  support,  care,  and  education  of  soldiers'  orphans,  and  for  the 
maintenance  of  the  widows  of  deceased  soldiers;  fourth,  for  the 
protection  and  assistance  of  disabled  soldiers,  whether  disabled  by 
wounds,  sickness,  old  age,  or  misfortune ;  fifth,  for  the  establish- 
ment and  defense  of  the  late  soldiery  of  the  United  States,  morally, 
socially,  and  politically,  with  a  view  to  inculcate  a  proper  appre- 
ciation of  their  services  to  the  country,  and  to  a  recognition  of  such 
services  and  claims  by  the  American  people." 

The  Indianapolis  Convention,  held  November  20,  1866,  added 
the  word  "  sailors  "  to  the  Springfield  Constitution,  and  also  a  new 
section,  taken  from  the  Constitution  of  the  "  Loyal  Legion,"  which 
reads  as  follows :  "  The  maintenance  of  true  allegiance  to  the 
United  States  of  America,  based  upon  paramount  respect  for  and 
fidelity  to  the  National  Constitution  and  Laws,  manifested  by  the 
discountenancing  of  whatever  may  tend  to  weaken  loyalty,  incite 
to  insurrection,  treason,  or  rebellion,  or  in  any  manner  impairs  the

21 


efficiency  and  permanency  of  our  free  institutions,  together  with  a 
defense  of  universal  liberty,  equal  rights,  and  justice  to  all  men." 


ELIGIBILITY    TO    MEMBERSHIP. 

According  to  the  Rules  and  Regulations  of  the  Grand  Army  of 
the  Republic,  A.  D.  1893,  all  "  Soldiers  and  Sailors  of  the  United 
States  Army,  Navy,  or  Marine  Corps,  who  served  between  April  12, 
1861,  and  April  9,  1865,  in  the  war  for  the  suppression  of  the 
Rebellion,  and  those  having  been  honorably  discharged  therefrom 
after  such  service,  and  of  such  State  regiments  as  were  called  into 
active  service  and  subject  to  the  orders  of  the  U.  S.  General  offi- 
cers, between  the  dates  mentioned,  shall  be 
-eligible  to  membership  in  the  Grand  Army 
of  the  Republic.  No  person  shall  be  eli- 
gible to  membership  who  has  at  any  time 
borne  arms  against  the  United  States." 

POLITICAL     TENDENCIES. 

Many  prominent  citizens,  not  bound  by 
kindred  ties  to  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic,  are  of  the  opinion  that  it  is 
little  more  than  a  political  organization, 
and,  therefore,  take  no  interest  in  it.  There  are,  also,  a  great  many 
soldiers  throughout  the  country  who  would  be  enrolled  as  mem- 
bers were  it  not  that  they,  too,  are  of  the  same  opinion.  This  is  a 
great  injustice  to  the  Order,  as  the  following  bit  of  history  will 
show  that  the  Post-room  is  a  place  "  where  the  partisan  and  sec- 
tarian are  not  heard." 

During  the  political  campaign  of  1866,  the  disputes  between 
President  Johnson  and  the  majority  in  Congress  were  the  means 
of  greatly  hindering  the  growth  of  the  G.  A.  R. ;  for,  notwith- 
standing the  fact  that  a  great  many  soldiers  who  entered  the  war 
as  Democrats  returned  with  different  political  opinions,  and  that 


22  "  THE   GRAND   AKMY   OF   THE   REPUBLIC." 

the  great  mass  of  the  soldier  vote  in  1866  was  Republican,  it  was 
by  no  means  a  unit,  for  many  thousands  of  gallant  soldiers,  who 
were  Democrats  when  they  enlisted  in  the  service,  returned  as 
such;  and  during  this  political  campaign  hundreds  of  political 
clubs  were  organized  among  the  Veterans,  some  advocating  the 
principles  of  the  Republican,  and  others,  the  Democratic  party. 
Naturally,  when  a  question  of  a  political  nature  found  its  way  into 
a  Post-room,  any  argument  in  its  favor  was  sure  to  be  hotly  re- 
butted by  some  representative  of  the  opposite  party. 

This  condition  of  affairs  soon  caused  a  discord  in  the  Post-room, 
and  comrades  by  the  hundred  withdrew  from  the  Order,  especially 
those  with  Democratic  views;  as  a  result,  the  public  soon  began  to 
look  upon  the  G.  A.  R.  as  a  political  organization,  and  the  tendency 
of  the  whole  Democratic  party  was  to  work  against  any  move  that 
would  tend  to  strengthen  the  ranks  of  the  Order. 

The  leaders  of  the  G.  A.  R.  soon  saw  that  even  the  discussion  of 
political  questions  in  the  Order  was  greatly  detrimental  to  its  best 
interests.  They  realized  that  as  the  Rebellion  was  put  down  by 
"  individual  efforts  united,"  on  this  principle  alone  could  they 
secure  legislation  in  behalf  of  the  soldiers'  orphans,  widows,  and 
dependent  parents ;  or,  for  the  maintenance  of  homes  for  disabled 
Veterans,  and  for  the  more  successful  carrying  out  of  the  principles 
and  objects  for  which  they  were  organized.  They  were  not  long, 
therefore,  in  taking  steps  to  repair  the  breach  which  the  political 
tendencies  of  the  Order  had  made  in  its  ranks,  and  in  January, 
1868,  at  the  National  Encampment,  held  in  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
while  declaring  that  it  was  the  purpose  of  the  Grand  Army  "  to 
secure  the  rights  of  the  defenders  of  their  country  by  all  moral, 
social,  and  political  means  in  their  control,"  the  following  clause 
was  added  to  the  fifth  section  of  their  Declaration  of  Principles, 
"  yet  this  Association  does  not  design  to  make  nominations  for 
office,  or  to  use  its  influence  as  a  secret  organization  for  partisan 
purposes." 

In  the  next  year,  1869,  the  following  article  was  added  to  the 


"THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC."  23 

Rules  and  Regulations  of  the  Order :  "  No  officer  or  comrade  of 
the  '  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  '  shall,  in  any  manner,  use  this 
organization  for  partisan  purposes,  and  no  discussion  of  partisan 
questions  shall  be  permitted  at  any  of  its  meetings ;  nor  shall  any 
nominations  for  political  office  be  made."  Under  this  law,  which 
has  never  been  changed,  the  "  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  "  grew 
very  rapidly. 

THE    GRADE   SYSTEM    OF    MEMBERSHIP. 

Another  great  drawback  to  its  growth  was  the  adoption  of 
"  The  Grade  System,"  which,  according  to  Past  Commander 
Robert  B.  Beath's  "  History  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Re- 
public," provided  for  three  distinct  grades  of  membership : 
1.  The  grade  of  "Recruit;"  2.  The  grade  of  "Soldier;"  3. 
The  grade  of  "  Veteran."  The  "  Recruits "  could  only  be  ad- 
vanced to  the  grade  of  "  Soldier "  after  two  months'  service, 
and  were  not  eligible  to  office,  or  privileged  to  act,  speak,  or 
vote.  All  business  was  transacted  by  the  second  grade,  or 
"  Soldiers,"  except  that  pertaining  to  advancement  to  the  third 
grade.  The  "  Soldier  "  could  not  be  advanced  to  the  third  grade 
until  he  had  been  a  member  of  the  second  grade  at  least  six 
months.  "  The  third  grade,  or  *  Veterans,'  only  were  eligible  to 
National  or  Department  offices,  or  to  membership  in  National  or 
Department  Encampments,  or  to  offices  filled  by  appointment  of 
Commander-in-Chief  or  Department  Commanders ;  and  to  the 
offices  of  Post-Commander,  Vice-Commanders,  Adjutant,  Quarter- 
master, Surgeon,  Chaplain,  Officer  of  the  Day,  or  Officer  of  the 
Guard." 

Many  members  strongly  objected  to  such  complicated  manoeuvres 
as  was  required  in  passing  from  one  grade  to  another  in  the 
"  Grand  Army,"  and  "  Recruits,"  full  of  enthusiasm  when  they 
joined,  were  disgusted  at  having  to  wait  two  months  before  having 
a  vote.  "  After  a  two  years'  trial,  this  '  Grade  System  '  of  member- 
ship was  entirely  abolished."  Since  that  time  the  Order  has  flour- 


24  "THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC. 

ished  and  grown  until,  to-day,  it  is  a  powerful  influence  for  good, 
and  no  one  can  deny  that  it  has  done  much  to  remove  from 
the  nation  "  the  shame  of  permitting  men,  who  saved  its  life, 
to  live,  die,  and  be  buried  as  paupers  in  the  land  they  helped  to 
save." 

I  cannot  better  express  my  opinion  of  the  G.  A.  R.  than  to 
quote  the  words  of  Past  Command er-in-Chief  William  Warner,  in 
his  report  of  the  administration  of  his  office,  to  the  twenty-third 
annual  session  of  the  National  Encampment  of  the  G.  A.  R.,  held 
in  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  August  28,  1889  : 

"  The  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  is  the  grandest  civic  organi- 
zation the  world  has  ever  seen— its  list  of  membership  is  the 
Nation's  roll  of  honor,  containing  the  most  illustrious  names  in 
history,  the  names  of  the  brave  men  who,  in  the  darkest  days 
of  the  rebellion,  followed  the  Stars  and  Stripes  as  the  emblem, 
not  of  a  confederacy  of  States  bound  together  by  ropes  of  sand, 
but  as  the  emblem  of  an  indissoluble  Union  of  indestructible 
States. 

"  They  followed  that  flag,  whether  in  sunshine  or  in  storm,  vic- 
tory or  defeat,  with  more  confidence  and  greater  reverence  than 
did  the  children  of  Israel  the  pillar  of  cloud  by  day  and  of  fire 
by  night.  The  men  who  compose  this  organization  are  they  who, 
when  others  faltered,  laid  '  their  lives,  their  fortunes,  and  their 
sacred  honors '  upon  the  altar  of  liberty  and  Union,  that  '  a  gov- 
ernment of  the  people,  by  the  people  and  for  the  people  '  should 
not  perish  from  the  earth. 

"  As  the  war  recedes  the  men  who  shared  together  the  privations 
of  the  frozen  camp,  the  hardships  of  the  forced  march,  the  dangers 
of  the  battlefield,  the  sufferings  of  the  field  hospital  and  the  untold 
agonies  of  the  prison  pen,  long  for  the  touch  of  a  comrade's  elbow 
as  of  old,  and  seek  the  Post-room,  where  the  partisan  and  sectarian 
are  not  heard.  The  teachings  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic 
are  so  conservative,  its  practices  so  patriotic,  its  comradeship  so 
universal,  that  all  honorably  discharged  Union  soldiers  and 


tf  THE  GRAND   ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC."  25 

sailors  of  '61  and  '65,  who  have  done  nothing  in  civil  life  to  cast 
a  stain  upon  their  honorable  record  in  liberty's  cause,  feel  that 
they  are  at  home  when  in  the  Post-room,  in  the  house  of  their 
friends. 

"  It  is  there  that  the  general  and  the  private,  the  merchant  prince 
and  the  clerk,  the  millionaire  and  the  laborer,  sit  side  by  side  as 
comrades,  bound  each  to  the  other  by  ties  the  tenderest  yet  the 
most  enduring  of  any  in  this  world,  outside  of  the  family  circle. 

" '  There  are  bonds  of  all  sorts  in  this  world  of  ours, 
Fetters  of  friendship  and  ties  of  flowers, 

And  true  lovers'  knots,  I  ween  ; 
The  boy  and  the  girl  are  bound  by  a  kiss, 
But  there  is  never  a  bond,  old  friend,  like  this— 

We  have  drank  from  the  same  canteen.' 

"  The  membership  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  consti- 
tutes the  great  conservative  element  of  the  Nation,  the  champion 
of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  recognizing  the  dignity  of  labor,  but 
having  no  sympathy  with  anarchy  or  communism,  recognizing  no 
flag  but  the  Stars  and  Stripes,  believing  that  loyalty  is  a  virtue  and 
that  treason  is  a  crime." 

When  we  come  to  consider  the  true  American  principles  which 
form  the  foundation  of  the  Order,  is  it  any  wonder  that  its  mem- 
bership, in  about  twenty-seven  years,  has  reached  the  gigantic  pro- 
portions of  7,626  Posts,  and  a  membership,  in  good  standing,  of 
more  than  400,000  men?  What  true  American  citizen  can  con- 
sider for  a  moment  the  vast  amount  of  labor,  time,  and  money  ex- 
pended yearly  by  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  in  order 
that  the  soldier's  widow  might  be  comforted  and  supported ;  that 
his  orphans  might  be  fed,  clothed,  and  educated,  and  that  society 
might  be  compelled  to  give  them  a  home,  alike  comfortable  and 
respectable,  without  acknowledging  what  a  blessing  to  the  welfare 
of  our  country  this  Grand  Soldier  Organization  has  been,  and  how 
faithfully  they  have  adhered  to  their  motto  of  "Friendship, 
Charity  and  Loyalty"? 


26  "THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC." 

GROWTH    OF   THE    ORDER. 

A  recapitulation  of  the  Adjutant-General's  report,  at  the 
National  Encampment  held  in  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  Sept.,  A.  D. 
1893,  shows  the  following  figures  : 

In  1873  the  number  of  comrades  in  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic,  in  good  standing,  was  27,100;  in  1878  it  was  31,016;  in 
1883,  215.446;  in  1888,  the  number  was  372,960;  in  1889,  the 
number  was  397,974  ;  in  1890,  409,484 ;  this  appears  to  have  been 
the  high-water  mark  in  its  history.  In  1891  it  was  407,781.  The 
total  membership,  in  good  standing,  June  30,  1892,  was  399,880 ; 
gained  by  muster,  24,954  ;  gained  by  transfer,  7,034 ;  gained  by  re- 
instatement, 10,283 ;  total  gains,  56,368  ;  aggregate,  456,248.  The 
losses  were  as  follows  :  By  death,  7,002  ;  by  honorable  discharge, 
1,707;  by  transfer,  8,168;  by  suspension,  35,298;  by  dishonorable 
discharge,  233  ;  delinquent  reports,  6,617  ;  total  losses,  59,025  ;  net 
loss,  during  the  year,  2,657.  Total  membership,  in  good  standing, 
June  30,  1893,  397,223. 

Adjt.-Gen.  E.  B.  Gray  states  that  4,070  of  those  reported  June 
30,  1893,  as  delinquent  are  really  in  good  standing,  but  were  not 
so  reported  by  inefficient  Post  officers.  Therefore,  the  total  mem- 
bership of  the  G.  A.  R.,  in  good  standing,  Sept.  10,  1893,  was 
401,293.  This  number  added  to  the  35,298  suspended  members 
makes  a  total  membership  for  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic 
of  436,591.

NATIONAL   OFFICERS. 

The  supreme  power  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  is 
lodged  in  the  National  Encampment,  which  is  "  held  annually  be- 
tween April  and  November,  as  may  be  fixed  by  the  Commander- 
in-Chief,  by  consent  of  the  Council  of  Administration,  and  at  such 
place  as  shall  have  been  determined  at  the  previous  stated  meet- 
ing." 

"  Special  meetings  may  be  convened  by  order  of  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief, by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
National  Council  of  Administration." 

The  National  officers  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  are  as 
follows :  Commander-in-Chief,  Senior  Vice-Commander-in-Chief, 
Junior  Vice-Commander-in-Chief,  Adjutant-General,  Quartermas- 
ter-General, Inspector-General,  Judge  Advocate-General,  Surgeon- 
General,  Chaplain-in-Chief,  and  a  Council  of  Administration,  con-

an  occasion  of  this  kind,  especially  by  one  who  never  attended  an

ted, as  it  is  a  very  entertaining  ceremony.

DESCRIPTION    OF    THE    G.    A.    R.    BADGE. 

The  membership  badge  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic  consists  of  the 
figure  of  an  Eagle,  with  Cross-Cannon 
and  Ammunition, representing  Defense; 
the  Eagle  hovering  over  with  a  sword, 
and  always  ready  to  protect  from  in- 
sult or  dishonor  the  National  Flag, 
which  is  also  the  emblem  and  ribbon 
of  the  Order. 

One  end  of  this  flag-ribbon  is  at- 
tached to  the  figure  of  the  above- 
described  eagle,  cross-cannon,  etc.,  and 
the  other  end  is  fastened  to  a  five- 
pointed  star,  in  the  centre  of  which  is 
"  the  figure  of  the  Goddess  of  Liberty, 
representing  Loyalty ;  on  either  side  a 
soldier  and  a  sailor  clasping  hands, 
representing  Fraternity,  and  two  chil- 
dren receiving  benediction  and  assur- 
ance of  protection  from  the  comrades, 
representing^  Charity.  On  each  side  of  the  group  is  the  National 
Flag  and  the  Eagle,  representing  Freedom  ;  and  the  Axe,  or  Bundle 
of  Rods,  or  Fasces,  representing  Union. 

"  In  each  point  of  the  star  is  the  insignia  of  the  various  arms  of 
the  service,  viz. :  the  Bugle  for  Infantry,  Cross-cannon  for  Artillery, 
Cross-muskets  for  the  Marine,  Cross-swords  for  Cavalry,  and  the 
Anchor  for  Sailors. 

"  Over  the  Central  Group  are  the  words,  '  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic,'  and  under  the  word  and  figures,  '  1861 — Veteran — 
1866,'  commemorating  the  commencement  and  close  of  the  Rebel- 
lion, and  also  the  date  of  organization  of  the  Order."

PAST  OFFICER'S  BADGE. 


As  the  above  cuts  will  show,  the  difference  between  the  member- 
ship and  the  official  badge  of  the  G.  A.  R.  is  that  the  ribbon  of  the 
latter  is  wider  and  ornamented  by  a  buff,  cherry  red,  or  a  lighter 
blue  border — (Buff  for  National  officers,  Red  for  Department  offi- 
cers, and  Blue  for  Post  officers) — and  that  on  the  active  officer's 
badge  the  eagle  is  supplanted  by  a  miniature  strap  one  and  one- 
half  inches  long  and  one-half  inch  wide,  enameled  with  a  gold  or 
gilt  border  one-sixteenth  of  an  inch  in  width.  The  color  of  this 
strap  for  National  or  Department  officers  is  black,  for  Post  officers 
dark  blue. 

On  the  badge  worn  by  Past  officers  this  strap  is  clasped  upon 


40 


"  THE  GRAND  ARMY  OF  THE  REPUBLIC.' 


their  proper  ribbon,  between  the  star  and  the  eagle  of  the  mem 
bership  badge. 

A  miniature  shield  in  gold  or  gilt,  with  the  coat  of  arms  of  the 
State,  may  be  worn  pendant  to  the  official  strap,  to  distinguish  the 
different  State  Departments. 

The  bronze  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the  Grand  Army  badge 
and  button  is  that  of  cannon  captured  in  different  decisive  battles 
of  the  late  Civil  War. 


CHAPTER  III. 

"WOMAN'S  RELIEF  CORPS." 


T 


the  State  of  Maine  belongs  the  honor  of 
having  within  its  boundaries  the  first  or- 
ganization of  ladies  who  have  always  so  nobly 
seconded  the  efforts  of  the  G.  A.  R.  in  the  dis- 
charge of  the  principles  and  duties  of  that 
body,  to  co-operate  with  them  as  a  G.  A.  R. 
Post. 

As  early  as  1869,  the  "  Bosworth  Relief  Corps" 
was  formed  in  Portland,  Maine,  for  the  purpose 
of  aiding  the  "  Bosworth  Post,"  of  that  city,  to 
relieve  the  unfortunate  and  needy  comrades 
and  their  families.  So  well  did  they  acquit 
themselves  in  their  destined  work,  and  so  suc- 
cessfully did  they  adminster  to  the  wants  of  the 
needy  and  suffering  that  in  a  short  time  it  became  evident  that 
their  co-operation  was  a  necessity,  and  corps  after  corps  was  or- 
ganized in  every  direction ;  but  it  was  not  until  ten  years  later  that 
a  State  organization  was  formed.  In  April,  1879,  the  first  State 
organization  was  perfected  at  Fitchburg,  Mass.,  under  the  title 
of  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps,"  as  advocated  by  the  ladies  of 
Massachusetts. 

ELIGIBILITY    TO    MEMBERSHIP. 

The  membership  did  not  rest  upon  kinship  to  Veterans,  but  the 
assistance  and  sympathy  of  all  loyal  women  were  asked,  and  the 
only  requirements  for  admission  as  a  member  were  loyalty  and  the 
observance  of  the  principles  of  the  Order. 

41 


42  "WOMAN'S  RELIEF  CORPS." 

OBJECTS   OF   THE   OBDER. 

The  objects  of  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps  are :  "  First,  to 
especially  aid  and  assist  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic  and  to 
perpetuate  the  memory  of  their  heroic  dead ;  second,  to  assist  such 
Union  Veterans  as  need  our  help  and  protection,  and  to  extend 
needful  aid  to  their  widows  and  orphans,  to  find  them  homes  and 
employment,  and  assure  them  of  sympathy  and  friends;  third,  to 
cherish  and  emulate  the  deeds  of  our  army  nurses,  and  of  all  loyal 
women  who  rendered  loving  service  to  their  country  in  her  hour 
of  peril ;  fourth,  to  inculcate  lessons  of  patriotism  and  love  of  coun- 
try among  our  children  and  in  the  communities  in  which  we  live ; 
fifth,  to  maintain  true  allegiance  to  the  United  States  of  America ; 
sixth,  to  discountenance  whatever  tends  to  weaken  loyalty,  and  to 
encourage  the  spread  of  universal  liberty  and  equal  rights  to  all 
men." 

Notwithstanding  their  valuable  services,  nothing  substantial  was 
done  by  the  G.  A.  R.  to  encourage  the  growth  of  these  Societies, 
nor  were  they  accorded  the  official  recognition  they  merited 
until  1881,  when  Chaplain-in-Chief  Rev.  Joseph  F.  Lovering 
urged  upon  the  National  Encampment  the  necessity  of  their 
being  given  their  due  recognition  and  support.  A  resolution  was 
then  adopted  approving  the  work  of  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps," 
and  they  were  also  authorized  to  add  to  their  title  "  Auxiliary  to 
the  G.  A.  R." 

It  soon  became  evident  that  a  National  organization  and  the 
uniformity  of  rules  governing  them  would  strengthen  the  "  Woman's 
Relief  Corps  "  and  increase  their  usefulness.  Accordingly,  in  1883, 
Commander-in-Chief  Paul  Van  Der  Voort  invited  representatives 
from  all  existing  Ladies'  Auxiliaries  to  meet  at  Denver,  Colorado, 
at  the  time  the  National  Encampment  of  the  G.  A.  R.  met  there, 
to  arrange  for  a  union  of  all  the  Societies.  This  invitation  was 
accepted,  and  a  large  delegation  met  at  Denver,  July  25,  1883,  and 
Mrs.  E.  F.  Barker,  President  of  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps  "  of 


"  WOMAN'S  RELIEF  CORPS."  43 

Massachusetts,  was  appointed  President,  and  Mrs.  Kate  B.  Sher- 
wood, of  "  Forsyth  Post  Relief  Corps  "  of  Toledo,  Ohio,  was  ap- 
pointed Secretary.  Owing  to  some  difference  of  opinion  regarding 
eligibility  to  membership,  the  delegation  from  New  Jersey  declined 
to  unite  with  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps,"  and  maintained  their 
organization  under  the  title  "  Loyal  Ladies'  League,"  later  known 
as  "  Ladies  of  the  G.  A.  R." 

The  plan  of  organization  of  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps  "  was 
very  similar  to  that  of  the  G.  A.  R.  The  National  organization 
was  called  the  "  National  Convention,  Woman's  Relief  Corps, 
Auxiliary  to  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic ;"  the  State  organi- 
zations were  called  departments,  and  the  local  associations  were 
termed  corps. 

The  record  of  the  successful  organization  of  the  "  Woman's  Re- 
lief Corps  "  was  received  with  great  satisfaction  by  the  National 
Encampment  of  the  G.  A.  R.,  and  the  following  resolution  was 
adopted  in  order  to  be  transmitted :  "Resolved,  That  we  cordially 
hail  the  organization  of  the  '  Woman's  Relief  Corps,'  and  extend 
our  greeting  to  them.  We  return  our  warmest  thanks  to  the  loyal 
women  of  the  land  for  their  earnest  work,  support,  and  encourage- 
ment, and  bid  them  Godspeed  in  their  patriotic  work." 

How  rapidly  this  organization  has  spread  may  be  judged  from 
the  fact  that,  at  the  present  time,  there  are  upward  of  two  thou- 
sand Posts  in  the  United  States,  with  a  membership  of  about  one 
hundred  thousand,  who  contribute  annually  more  than  one  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars  ($100,000).  This  is  a  representation  of 
their  strength  in  figures,  but  who  can  measure  the  value  of  their 
kindly  sympathy,  their  visits  at  the  bedsides  of  suffering  Veterans, 
their  tender  care  for  the  widows  and  orphans,  their  loving  work  in 
the  many  channels  of  usefulness  which  their  tact  has  found  them. 
It  is,  indeed,  as  priceless  as  the  patriotic  devotion  which  actuated 
them  to  devote  their  time  and  money  to  the  cause  they  love  so 
well,  and  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps  "  will  ever  stand  as  a  living 
monument  of  the  love  of  American  women  for  the  cause  of  truth 


44  "  LADIES   OF   THE   G.  A.   R." 

and  justice  :  American  women,  true  daughters  of  their  brave 
ancestors,  who  fought  and  suffered  for  liberty  in  the  days  of 

"  76." 

"  LADIES    OF    THE    G.  A.    K." 

(FORMERLY  Kxowx  AS  "  LOYAL  LADIES'  LEAGUE.") 

The  movement  of  patriotic  women,  "Aux- 
iliary to  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic," 
which  was  first  inaugurated  at  Portland, 
Me.,  in  1869,  spread  rapidly  throughout 
the  country.  The  ladies  of  New  Jersey  were 
second  to  none  in  their  enthusiastic  support 
of  it.  A  number  of  societies  or  leagues 
were  soon  formed  throughout  the  State, 
which  were,  however,  not  perfectly  uniform 
in  their  rules  and  management.  To  secure 
a  more  thorough  co-operation  in  the  work 
for  which  they  were  destined,  a  request  was 
issued  in  general  orders  by  Commander 
Charles  Houten,  Department  of  New  Jersey, 

asking  all  the  ladies  to  send  representatives  to  Trenton,  with  a 
view  of  forming  a  State  organization.  The  delegates  met  at 
Trenton,  N.  J.,  December  15,  1881,  and  after  some  debate  an 
organization  was  perfected  under  the  title,  "  Loyal  Ladies'  League, 
Auxiliary  to  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  Department  of 
New  Jersey."  The  new  Order  adopted  a  charter,  badge,  and  rules, 
and  began  its  work  with  eight  subordinate  leagues,  Mrs.  Carrie  N. 
Burgee,  of  Vineland,  N.  J.,  being  elected  its  president. 

ELIGIBILITY   TO   MEMBERSHIP. 

Only  such  were  admitted  to  membership  as  were  of  good  moral 
character,  and  who  were  related  as  mother,  wife,  sister,  or  daughter 
to  an  honorably  discharged  soldier,  sailor,  or  marine,  who  served  in 
the  late  Rebellion. 


"  LADIES   OF  THE  Q.    A.    R."  45 

OBJECTS   OF    THE   ORDER. 

The  objects  of  the  "  Loyal  Ladies'  League,"  as  set  forth  in  these 
rules,  were  as  follows :  "  To  unite  with  loyalty — love  for  each  other ; 
to  practice  the  precepts  of  true  fraternity  of  feeling  toward  all 
sisters  of  our  Order,  thus  emulating  the  spirit  which  unites  our 
fathers,  husbands,  and  brothers ;  to  honor  the  memory  of  those 
fallen  ;  to  perpetuate  and  keep  forever  sacred  '  Memorial  Day  ' ; 
to  assist  the  '  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic '  in  its  high  and  holy 
mission  ;  aid,  encourage,  and  sympathize  with  them  in  their  noble 
work  of  charity ;  to  extend  needful  aid  to  members  in  sickness  and 
distress  ;  to  aid  sick  soldiers,  sailors,  and  marines ;  to  do  all  in  our 
power  to  alleviate  suffering." 

In  July,  1883,  Mrs.  S.  D.  Hugg  and  Mrs.  Laura  McNeir  were 
sent  as  delegates  from  New  Jersey  to  Denver,  Colorado,  to  meet 
with  the  delegates  from  the  Ladies'  Auxiliary  Societies  in  the 
different  States,  who  were  called  together  by  a  request  issued  by 
Paul  Van  Der  Voort,  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  National  En- 
campment of  the  G.  A.  R.,  with  a  view  of  forming  a  National  or- 
ganization to  better  carry  out  the  objects  for  which  they  were 
organized.  At'  this  convention  the  delegates  from  New  Jersey 
were  opposed  to  making  all  loyal  women  eligible  to  membership, 
and  on  the  adoption  of  that  rule  by  a  majority  of  the  delegates 
present,  they  declined  to  become  a  part  of  the  "  Woman's  Relief 
Corps,"  as  they  thought  that  the  membership  should  be  restricted 
to  the  immediate  relatives  of  Veterans.  In  this  view  they  were 
supported  by  their  State  Convention,  and  New  Jersey  remained 
an  independent  department. 

On  November  18,  1886,  delegates  from  the  various  Leagues  in 
New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Kansas,  California,  Ohio,  Delaware,  and 
West  Virginia  met  in  convention  at  Chicago,  111.,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  effecting  a  National  organization.  After  some  discussion 
and  a  few  slight  changes  in  the  rules,  a  union  was  effected  with  an 
organization  in  Illinois,  known  as  "  Ladies  of  the  G.  A.  R."  This 


46  "  LADIES   OF   THE   G.    A.   R." 

name  was  adopted  by  the  Convention  for  the  National  Order,  and 
Mrs.  Laura  McNeir,  of  Camden,  N.  J.,  was  elected  as  its 
National  President.  The  membership  at  the  present  time  is  about 
thirty-five  thousand,  who  have,  by  their  activity  and  fidelity  to 
the  purpose  of  their  Order,  done  much  to  aid  and  support  the 
Grand  Army  of  the  Republic. 

The  organization  formed,  as  it  is,  by  the  immediate  relatives  of 
the  Veterans,  is  united  by  the  strongest  kind  of  bonds.  Those  ties 
of  comradeship  which  were  formed  and  strengthened  by  mutual 
privation  and  suffering  on  the  field  and  in  the  camp,  amidst 
hunger,  thirst,  and  disease  in  Southern  swamps,  Confederate 
prisons,  and  which  are  such  a  marked  feature,  many  of  the  com- 
rades of  the  G.  A.  R.  bore  to  be  communicated  to  their  mothers, 
wives,  sisters,  and  daughters,  who,  by  the  fireside,  and  in  the  hos- 
pital, did  their  part  so  bravely  in  the  great  struggle,  sharing  their 
mutual  joys  and  woe  :  these  ties  binding  them  together  have  made 
them,  as  it  were,  one  great  family  having  a  common  cause  and  a 
common  interest. 


CHAPTER  IV. 

"  SONS  OF  VETERANS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA." 


ILirVETERANORUM 


SHORTLY  after  the  organization  of  the 
G.  A.  R.,  the  plan  of  forming  a  Cadet 
Corps  of  the  Sons  of  the  Veterans  was 
discussed  from  time  to  time,  but  it  was  not 
until  1878  that  any  decisive  action  was  taken 
in  the  matter.  At  a  meeting  of  the  "  Anna 
M.  Ross  Post,  No.  94,"  of  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
August  27,  1878,  the  subject  was  taken  up, 
and,  on  motion  of  Comrade  James  P.  Holt, 
a  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to  devise 
means  of  forming  a  G.  A.  R.  Cadet  Corps,  to 
be  attached  to  that  Post.  On  the  17th  of 
September  following,  the  committee  reported 
and  submitted  a  plan  of  organization,  which 
was  at  once  adopted  by  the  Post,  and  on  the 
29th  of  September,  1878,  the  first  Camp  of 
the  "  Sons  of  Veterans  "  was  formally  organ- 
ized, under  the  title,  "  Anna  M.  Ross  Camp  No.  1,  of  Philadelphia, 
Order  of  Sons  of  Veterans."  Other  Camps  were  soon  organized  in 
Philadelphia  and  throughout  the  State,  and  in  July,  A.  D.  1880,  a 
division  organization  was  completed,  with  Comrade  Linder  as 
Colonel. 

The  Order  spread  rapidly  in  the  States  of  New  York.  New  Jer- 
sey, Pennsylvania,  and  Delaware,  in  1881,  and  during  the  same 
year  a  National  organization  was  formed,  and  Alfred  Cope  was 
elected  Commander.

BADGE. 


48  "SONS    OF   VETERANS    OF   THE    UNITED    STATES   OF   AMERICA." 

About  the  same  time  Maj.  A.  P.  Davis,  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  was 
organizing  the  "  Sons  of  the  Veterans,"  of  that  city,  and  on  the 
12th  of  November,  1881,  he  instituted  an  organization  under  the 
title,  "  Sons  of  Veterans  of  the  United  States  of  America,"  and 
prepared  for  it  a  Constitution,  rules  and  regulations,  and  ritual, 
which  provided  for  a  National  organization  and  State  and  Local 
associations. 

In  1883,  owing  to  misunderstanding  and  dissensions  in  the 
Order  first  above  mentioned,  thirty-three  of  its  Camps  withdrew 
and  united  with  the  Order  founded  by  Maj.  Davis,  leaving  but  three 
Camps  of  the  original  Order,  but  the  National  division  remained 
intact,  and  Commander  Cope  created  a  provisional  division  in 
Pennsylvania,  appointing  L,  M.  Wagner  as  Provisional  Colonel.  A 
permanent  organization,  however,  was  formed  for  Pennsylvania, 
February  22,  1882,  and  the  original  Order  continued  to  exist  until 
August.  1886,  when  it  was  consolidated  with  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans, 
U.  S.  A'." 

In  his  address  at  the  National  Encampment  of  the  G.  A.  R., 
held  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  1888,  Commander-in-Chief  John  P. 
Rea  alluded  to  the  order  of  "  Sons  of  Veterans  "  as  follows :  "  It 
will  be  but  a  short  period  until  our  ranks  are  so  meagre  and  the 
surviving  comrades  so  weighed  down  with  the  burden  of  years 
that  our  organization  will  have  ceased  to  be  an  active  force  in  the 
works  of  loyal  love  and  charity  which  it  has  ordained.  The  tender 
ceremonies  of  '  Memorial  Day '  will  then  be  performed  by  others, 
or  not  at  all.  It  seems  to  me  that  it  would  be  the  part  of  wisdom 
for  us,  while  yet  in  our  vigor,  to  establish  such  relationship  between 
our  Order  and  the  l  Sons  of  Veterans '  as  to  properly  recognize 
that  organization." 

Afterward,  at  the  same  Encampment,  the  following  resolution 
was  passed:  "Resolved,  That  this  Encampment  indorse  the  objects 
and  purposes  of  the  Order  of  '  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A.,'  and 
hereby  gives  to  the  Order  the  official  recognition  of  the  Grand 
Army  of  the  Republic,  and  recommend  that  comrades  aid  and 


"SONS   OF   VETERANS   OF  THE   UNITED  STATES   OF   AMERICA/'  49 

encourage  the  institution  of  Camps  of   the  '  Sons  of  Veterans, 
U.  S.  A.'  " 

ELIGIBILITY    TO    MEMBERSHIP 

The  requirements  for  admission  to  membership  are  that  the 
applicant  must  not  be  less  than  eighteen  years  of  age,  and  that  he 
must  be  the  son  of  a  deceased  or  honorably  discharged  Union 
soldier  or  sailor,  or  a  son  of  a  member  of  the  Order  of  "  Sons  of 
Veterans." 

PRINCIPLES. 

The  principles  of  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A.,"  are  "  a  firm 
belief  and  trust  in  Almighty  God,  and  a  realization  that  under 
His  beneficent  guidance  the  free  institutions  of  our  land,  conse- 
crated by  the  services  and  blood  of  our  fathers,  have  been  pre- 
served, and  the  integrity  and  life  of  the  nation  maintained.  True 
allegiance  to  the  Government  of  the  United  States  of  America, 
based  upon  a  respect  for  and  devotion  and  fidelity  to  its  Constitu- 
tion and  laws,  manifested  by  the  discountenancing  of  anything  that 
may  tend  to  weaken  loyalty,  incite  to  insurrection,  treason,  or 
rebellion,  or  in  any  manner  impair  the  efficiency  and  permanency 
of  our  National  Union." 

OBJECTS. 

The  objects  of  the  Order  are :  "First,  To  keep  green  the  memory 
of  our  fathers  and  their  sacrifices  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Union ; 
second,  To  aid  the  members  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic 
in  caring  for  their  helpless  and  disabled  veterans ;  to  extend  aid 
and  protection  to  the  widows  and  orphans;  to  perpetuate  the 
memory  and  history  of  their  heroic  dead ;  and  the  proper  observ- 
ance of  Memorial  Day ;  third,  To  aid  and  assist  worthy  and 
needy  members  of  the  Order;  fourth,  To  inculcate  patriotism 
and  love  of  country,  not  alone  among  our  membership,  but  among 
all  the  people  of  our  land,  and  to  spread  and  sustain  the  doctrine 
of  equal  rights,  universal  liberty,  and  justice  to  all." 

The  Order  is  organized  on  strictly  military  principles,  and  is

officered  and  governed  according  to  army  regulations.  The  Na- 
tional organization,  which  has  its  one  Commandery-in-Chief,  cor- 
responds to  an  army ;  the  State  organizations,  or  Divisions,  are 
officered  and  governed  as  regiments,  while  the  local  organizations, 
or  Camps,  correspond  to  companies,  and  are  regulated  as  such. 
The  officers  of  the  Camp  are  Captain,  First  Lieutenant,  and  Second 
Lieutenant,  who  are  elected  by  ballot.  In  addition  to  these,  the 
Captain  appoints  a  staff,  consisting  of  the  following  officers :  First 
Sergeant,  Quartermaster  Sergeant,  Chaplain.  Color  Sergeant,  Ser- 
geant of  the  Guard,  Corporal  of  the  Guard,  Musician,  Camp  Guard, 
and  Picket  Guard.  Each  Camp  is  organized  as  a  company,  and 
x3£TlRA*\  every  officer  is  required  to  dis- 

charge his  duties  in  precisely 
the  same  manner  as  though  he 
were  regularly  enlisted.  The 
Captain  presides  at  the  meet- 
ings of  the  Cam}),  and  in  his 
absence  his  place  is  filled  by 
the  First  or  Second  Lieutenant, 
in  the  order  of  his  rank.  The 
Chaplain's  duties  are  indicated 
by  his  title.  The  First  Sergeant

and  makes  a  quarterly  report  to  Division  Headquarters  through 
the  Captain.  The  Quartermaster  Sergeant  lias  charge  of  the  funds 
of  the  Camp,  and  likewise,  through  the  Captain,  makes  a  quarterly 
report  to  Division  Headquarters. 

The  Order  has  spread  rapidly  throughout  the  entire  Union,  from 
the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific.  It  has  now  on  its  roll  more  than 
ninety  thousand  active  members.  As  Commander-in-Chief  Rea 
intimated  in  his  address,  that  time  will  gradually  decimate  the 
ranks  of  the  G.  A.  R.,  and  old  age  will  enfeeble  the  survivors,  there 
should  be  a  union  of  younger  men  upon  whom  they  could  lean 
for  support,  who  would  be  worthy  of  their  charge  and  who  would

foster  and  perpetuate  the  purpose  for  which  they  suffered  and 
bled.  When  the  necessity  for  such  an  organization  became  ap- 
parent, the  Order  of  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A.,"  sprang  into 
existence  to  meet  that  necessity ;  and  well  have  they  met  it,  its 
membership  being  made  up  of  the  best  blood  of  the  land,  young 
men  well  drilled  in  military  tactics,  who  are  devoted  to  their 
country,  and  who  cherish  the  memory  of  the  brave  deeds  of  their 
fathers.  At  a  call  of  their  country  they  would  be  among  the 
first  to  spring  to  arms,  and,  incited  by  the  deeds  of  their  fathers, 
they  would  soon  rival  them  in  their  devotion  to  preserve  the  honor 
and  integrity  of  the  "  Stars  and  Stripes." 

"LADIES'  AID  SOCIETY." 
AUXILIARY  TO  THE  "  SONS  OF  VETERANS,  U.  S.  A." 

The  "  Ladies'  Aid  Society  "  was  organized 
in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  A.  D.  1883,  but  it  was 
not  until  the  29th  day  of  August,  1884,  at  a 
meeting  of  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans  v  held  in 
Philadelphia  that  it  was  duly  recognized  and 
practically  acknowledged  as  an  "  Auxiliary 
to  the  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A." 

Prior  to  June  13,  1885,  this  Order  con- 
sisted of  but  seven  Societies,  and  was  not 
known  outside  of  Eastern  Pennsylvania. 
In  September,  1885,  at  an  annual  meeting 
held  at  Grand  Rapids,  Mich.,  the  "  Sons 
of  Veterans "  passed  the  following  reso- 
lution : 

"Resolved,  That  all  brothers  of  our  Order 
be  requested  to  encourage  the  movement  to 
extend  the  Association  of  '  Ladies'  Aid 
Societies,'  in  order  that  they  might  become 
a  National  body,  and  to  give  the  movement  such  support  as  their 
situation  and  circumstances  will  admit  of,  and  that  the  Com*

mander-in-Chief,  Grand  Division,  Division,  and  Camp  Com- 
manders, and  all  others  interested  aid  in  the  establishment  of 
Societies,  and  that  in  accordance  with  the  request  of  the  President, 
Miss  Laura  F.  Martin,  of  Lancaster,  Pa.,  they  advance  to  her 
Order  in  the  shape  of  a  temporary  loan  such  moderate  amounts  as 
her  appeal  indicates  will  be  sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
the  case." 

The  passing  of  this  resolution  is  credited  to  Maj.  A.  P.  Davis,  of 
Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  the  founder  of  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A.," 
and  to  him  the  more  perfect  and  thorough  organization  of  the 
Order  as  it  now  stands  is  largely  due. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  Order  is  clearly  demonstrated  by  the 
fact  that  its  first  National  Encampment  was  held  at  Akron,  Ohio, 
September  7  to  9,  1887,  just  two  years  after  the  passing  of  the 
above  resolution,  and  since  that  time  the  Order  has  been  re- 
peatedly indorsed  by  the  National  Encampments  of  the  "  Sons 
of  Veterans "  as  their  only  authorized  auxiliary.  It  now  em- 
braces about  three  hundred  and  fifty  Societies,  with  thirteen 
States  organized  into  permanent  Divisions,  and  has  a  total  mem- 
bership of  over  eight  thousand. 

ELIGIBILITY    TO    MEMBERSHIP. 

This  Order  admits  to  membership  :  Firxt,  "  mothers,  wives,  and 
sisters  of  deceased  or  honorably  discharged  soldiers,  sailors,  or 
marines  who  served  in  the  Union  Army  or  Navy  during  the  Civil 
War  of  1861-1865  ;  second,  female  lineal  descendants  not  less  than 
sixteen  years  of  age  of  soldiers,  sailors,  or  marines ;  third,  wives 
of  Sons  of  Veterans." 

PRINCIPLES    OF   THE    ORDER. 

Its  principles  are :  First,  "  a  firm  belief  and  trust  in  Almighty 
God,  and  a  realization  that  under  His  beneficent  care  and  guid- 
ance the  free  institutions  of  our  land — by  the  assistance  and  sacri- 


"LADIES'  AID  SOCIETY."  53 

fices  of  our  soldiers — have  been  preserved,  and  the  integrity  and 
life  of  the  nation  maintained ;  second,  true  allegiance  to  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States  of  America,  and  a  respect  for  and  a  de- 
votion and  fidelity  to  its  Constitution  and  laws,  with  a  firm  oppo- 
sition to  anything  that  may  tend  to  weaken  loyalty  or  in  any 
manner  impair  the  efficiency  and  permanency  of  our  National 
Union." 

OBJECTS. 

\ 

The  objects  of  the  Order  are :  First,  "  to  assist  the  '  Sons  of 
Veterans '  in  keeping  green  the  memories  of  our  soldiers,  and 
their  sacrifices  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Union ;  second,  to  aid 
the  members  of  the  '  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic '  in  caring  for 
their  helpless  and  disabled  veterans,  to  extend  aid  and  protection 
to  their  widows  and  orphans,  to  perpetuate  the  memory  and 
history  of  their  heroic  dead,  and  the  proper  observance  of  Memo- 
rial Day ;  third,  to  aid  and  assist  the  '  Sons  of  Veterans '  in  all 
their  objects,  both  financially  and  otherwise ;  fourth,  to  aid  and 
assist  worthy  and  needy  members  of  our  Society ;  fifth,  to  incul- 
cate true  patriotism  and  love  of  country,  not  only  among  our 
membership,  but  all  the  people  of  our  land,  and  to  spread  and 
sustain  the  doctrine  of  equal  rights,  universal  liberty,  and  justice 
to  all." 

The  Order  takes  its  name  from  a  society  organized  in  Philadel- 
phia, Pa.,  the  week  following  the  fall  of  Fort  Sumter  in  1861, 
under  the  title  of  "  Ladies'  Aid  Society."  This  Society  was  com- 
posed of  about  two  hundred  loyal  ladies  of  that  city,  and  was 
organized  for  the  purpose  of  providing  nurses  for  the  sick  and 
wounded  soldiers,  and  to  care  for  suffering  and  bereaved  soldiers' 
families.  In  short,  as  an  organization  to  aid  and  encourage  the 
Union  soldiers  in  their  struggle  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Union. 

As  the  Order  of  the  "  Sons  of  Veterans,  U.  S.  A.,"  will  likely 
continue  as  an  organization  for  many  years  to  come,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  it  was  organized  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  and  continu- 


54  "  DAUGHTERS   OF    VETERANS." 

ing  the  work  begun,  and  thus  far  so  faithfully  carried  out  by  the 
"  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,"  and,  inasmuch  as  it  has  been 
demonstrated  in  the  past  that  the  "  Woman's  Relief  Corps  "  and 
the  "  Ladies  of  the  G.  A.  R.,"  both  auxiliaries  to  the  G.  A.  R., 
have  been  a  source  of  great  aid  to  that  organization,  it  is  reason- 
able to  suppose  that  .the  "  Ladies'  Aid  Society,  Auxiliary  to  the 
Sons  of  Veterans,"  will  continue  to  grow  in  favor  until  it  becomes 
a  mighty  factor  in  carrying  out  the  principles  and  objects  of  the 
"  Sons  of  Veterans,"  upon  which  its  structure  is  based  and  reared. 


This  Society  is  located  principally  in  the  West,  but  is  rapidly 
spreading  in  all  directions.  It  is,  in  many  respects,  similar  to  the 
"  Sons  of  Veterans,"  and  is  entirely  independent  and  auxiliary  to 
no  other  organization. 

It  was  organized  at  Massilon,  Ohio,  May  30,  1885,  and  has  a 
National  organization  and  local  Societies,  known  as  "  Tents." 

The  Order  admits  to  membership  "  all  daughters  and  grand- 
daughters of  honorably  discharged  soldiers,  sailors,  and  marines 
who  served  in  the  Union  army  or  navy  during  the  Rebellion  of 
1861-65,  who  have  attained  the  age  of  fifteen  years,"  and  has  for 
its  objects,  as  follows :  "  To  perpetuate  the  memories  of  our  fathers, 
grandfathers,  and  brothers,  their  loyalty  to  the  Union,  and  their 
unselfish  sacrifices  for  the  perpetuity  of  the  same ;  to  keep  green 
the  memory  and  history  of  those  who  participated  in  that  heroic 
struggle  for  the  maintenance  of  our  free  government ;  to  aid  them 
and  their  widows  and  orphans  when  helpless  and  in  distress  ;  to 
assist  the  Grand  Army  to  commemorate  the  deeds  of  their  fallen 
comrades  on  the  30th  of  May,  until  such  time  as  it  shall  devolve 
upon  their  descendants." 

There  is  a  Floral  Committee  attached  to  each  Tent,  whose  duty 
it  is  to  provide  floral  offerings  for  the  funeral  of  any  deceased 
soldier  or  sailor  in  the  vicinity. 


CHAPTER  V. 


THE    NATIONAL    ASSOCIATION    OF    NAVAL    VETERANS    OF   THE    UNITED 


T 


STATES." 

'HE  objects  for  which  the  Grand  Army  of 
the  Republic  was  organized  appeal  as 
strongly  to  the  loyal  sailor  as  to  his  soldier 
brother.  Naturally,  therefore,  the  G.  A.  R. 
early  absorbed  into  its  ranks  large  numbers 
of  Naval  Veterans,  and  it  was  not  because  of 
any  change  in  principles  that  many  old 
sailors  in  the  course  of  time  decided  to  with- 
draw from  the  G.  A.  R.,  and  form  Naval 
Associations,  but  rather  that  the  Naval  Vet- 
erans might  be  united  in  closer  bonds  of 
fraternity. 

Prior  to  the  year  1887  a  number  of  Inde- 
pendent Societies,  composed  exclusively  of 
Naval  Veterans,  had  been  formed  at  various 
times  in  different  sections  throughout  the 
country,  and  on  the  13th  day  of  January, 
1887,  eight  of  these  Veteran  societies  met 

in  convention  at  New  York  city,  where  the  "  National  Association 
of  Naval  Veterans  of  the  United  States  "  was  formed,  with  Charles 
W.  Adams,  of  Illinois,  as  first  Commodore.  At  this  convention,  a 
constitution,  together  with  a  uniform,  national  badge,  and  a  recog- 
nition lapel  button,  was  adopted  and  other  important  matters  for 
the  welfare  of  the  local  associations  decided  upon.

56  "  THE   NATIONAL    ASSOCIATION    OF    NAVAL    VETERANS    OF    THE    U.    S." 

OBJECTS   OF   THE    ORDER. 

The  objects  of  this  National  Organization  are  "  to  cherish  the 
memory  and  association  of  the  War  of  the  Rebellion ;  to  perpetuate 
the  glorious  name  and  deeds  of  our  Navy ;  to  strengthen  the  ties  of 
fraternal  fellowship  and  sympathy  ;  to  extend  relief  to  worthy 
members ;  to  bury  their  dead ;  and  to  maintain  the  honor  of  the 
American  flag ;"  in  short,  "  mutual  benefit,  better  recognition  by 
Federal,  State,  and  municipal  authorities,  a  higher  elevation  of  our 
old  messmates,  and  a  cementing  of  the  bonds  of  friendship, 
which  were  begun  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  and  an 
independent,  but  concerted,  action  of  Naval  Veterans  throughout 
the  country." 

ELIGIBILITY    TO    MEMBERSHIP. 

"  To  become  a  member  of  this  Order,  the  applicant  must  have 
been  an  officer,  seaman,  landsman,  fireman,  or  marine;  or  one 
who  served  in  the  United  States  Navy  from  1861  to  1865,  or  who 
was  in  the  revenue  cutter  service  during  that  period,  and  who  re- 
signed or  was  honorably  discharged  from  the  service."  "  Ship- 
mates "  who  are  isolated  and  not  within  easy  reach  of  a  local 
association  may  become  "  Associate  Members  "  by  the  payment 
of  a  small  fee,  and  thus  become  entitled  to  wear  the  uniform, 
badge,  and  button,  and  parade  with  the  Order  annually. 

Ten  "  Shipmates  "  can  form  an  association,  and  upon  the  pay- 
ment of  five  dollars  ($5)  receive  from  the  Rear  Admiral  command- 
ing a  charter,  set  of  rituals,  and  service  books. 

The  association  has  a  uniform  and  rank  insignia,  not  unlike 
that  worn  by  the  officers  of  the  "  Old  Navy,"  in  which  they  served, 
-and  flies  the  "  Union  Jack  "  as  its  service  colors. 

The  work  of  this  organization  is  carried  on  much  after  the 
manner  of  the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  yet  purely  distinc- 
tive of  naval  routine  and  customs.  A  National  Convention  is  held 
yearly  in  connection  with  the  G.  A.  R.  encampments,  and  the 


"THE  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION  OF  NAVAL  VETERANS  OF  THE  u.  s."        57 

national  officers  for  the  following  year  are  then  elected.  At  the 
Twenty-sixth  Annual  Encampment  of  the  G.  A.-  R.,  held  at  Wash- 
ington, September  20,  1892,  over  one  thousand  "  Shipmates " 
were  added  to  the  National  Roster  of  the  Order,  which  now  con- 
tains the  names  and  addresses  of  about  nine  thousand  living 
Naval  Veterans. 

The  Association  is  noted  for  the  interest  and  enthusiasm  of  its 
members  and  the  strong  ties  of  friendship  and  comradeship  exist- 
ing among  the  "  Shipmates."  There  are  a  large  number  of  Naval 
Veterans  in  the  G.  A.  R.  Posts  of  all  State  Departments :  in  fact, 
most  of  the  members  of  this  Association  have  also  a  membership 
in  the  G.  A.  R. 

Most  of  the  Naval  Veteran  Associations  meet  regularly  once  or 
twice  a  month,  and  all  of  them  hold  yearly  reunions,  where  the 
old  "  Blue-jackets  "  spin  over  their  yarns,  fight  over  their  battles, 
and,  perhaps,  "  splice  the  main  brace." 

The  old  Veterans  are  rapidly  "  losing  the  number  of  their  mess," 
and,  in  a  few  short  years,  there  will  be  left  but  a  "  quarter  watch  " 
of  useless  human  hulks.  "  May  they  find  happiness  and  content- 
ment as  they  lie  moored  in  the  still  waters  of  the  stream  of  life, 
calmly  awaiting  the  inevitable  hour  when  the  frail  cable  shall  part 
and  they  drift  away  into  the  great  ocean  of  eternity."

"THE  MILITARY  ORDER  OF  THE  LOYAL  LEGION  OF  THE  UNITED 

STATES." 

The  "  Loyal  Legion  "  owes  its  origin  to  a  meeting  of  Col.  S.  B 
Wylie  Mitchell,  Lt.-Col.  T.  Ellwood  Zell,  and  Capt.  Peter  D. 
Keyser,  M.  D.,  which  was  held  on  the  day  following  the  assassina- 
tion of  President  Lincoln,  when  they  met  in  Lt.-Col.  Zell's  office  in 
Philadelphia  to  arrange  for  a  meeting  of  the  ex-officers  of  the 
Army  and  Navy  to  adopt  a  set  of  resolutions  relative  to  the  death 
of  the  President. 

The  advisability  of  forming  a  permanent  organization  was  dis- 
cussed, and  they  agreed  to  consider  the  matter,  and  take  more 
definite  action  at  a  future  meeting. 

On  the  20th  of  April,  1865,  another  meeting  was  held,  at  which 


60 


THE    LOYAL   LEGION 


it  was  decided  to  form  a  permanent  organization,  and  they 
adjourned  to  meet  in  the  hall  of  the  Hibernia  Fire  Company,  of 
Philadelphia,  May  3,  1865. 

During  the  month  of  May  a  Constitution 
and  By-Laws  were  adopted,  which  provided 
for  the  following  officers  :  Commander,  Senior 
and  Junior  Vice-Commanders,  Recorder,  Cor- 
respondent, Treasurer,  Chancellor,  Chaplain, 
and  Council.  The  plan  of  organization  pro- 
vides for  a  National  organization  or  Com- 
mandery-in-Chief,  State  Organizations  or 
Grand  Commanderies,  Local  or  District 
Comm  anderies. 

The  first  Commander-in-Chief  was  Lt.-Col. 
T.  Ellwood  Zell,  who  was  succeeded  by  Maj.- 
Gen.  George  Cadwalader,  Maj.-Gen.  Winfield 
S.  Hancock,  Maj.-Gen.  Rutherford  B.  Hayes, 
Gen.  Philip  H.  Sheridan,  and  Rear-Admiral 
John  J.  Almy  respectively. 

The  memberships  are  divided  into  three 
classes :  First,  Commissioned  Officers  of  the 

Army  or  Navy  who  were  actively  engaged  in  suppressing  the 
Rebellion,  or,  the  eldest  male  lineal  descendants  of  such  deceased 
officers,  provided  such  descendants  be  twenty-one  years  of  age 
or  over;  second,  the  eldest  sons  of  living  companions  or  members 
of  the  first  class,  provided  they  be  twenty-one  years  of  age  or 
over;  third,  gentlemen  in  civil  life,  who  were  conspicuous  for 
loyalty  to  the  National  Government  during  the  Rebellion. 

The  objects  of  the  Association  are:  "To  cherish  the  memories 
and  associations  of  the  war  waged  in  defense  of  the  unity  and  in- 
divisibility of  the  Republic ;  to  strengthen  the  ties  of  fraternal 
fellowship  and  sympathy,  formed  from  the  companionship  in 
arms ;  to  advance  the  best  interests  of  the  soldiers  and  sailors  of 
the  United  States  ;  to  extend  all  possible  relief  to  their  widows 
and  children ;  to  foster  the  cultivation  of  military  and  naval

science,  and,  in  general,  to  maintain  national  honor,  unity,  and  in- 
dependence." 

The  "  Loyal  Legion  "  has  grown  and  prospered,  and  has  now 
more  than  eleven  thousand  members  on  its  rolls,  with  active  Com- 
manderies  in  nineteen  States  and  the  District  of  Columbia. 

The  interests  of  the  "  Loyal  Legion  "  and  the  Grand  Army  are 
nearly  identical,  and  many  Veterans  have  a  membership  in  both 
organizations. 

"UNION   VETERAN    LEGION." 

As  originally  organized  in  Pitts- 
burgh, Fa.,  in  March,  1884,  member- 
ship in  the  "  Union  Veteran  Legion  " 
was  restricted  to  "  officers,  soldiers, 
and  marines  of  the  Union  Army,  Navy, 
or  Marine  Corps  during  the  War  of 
the  Rebellion,  who  volunteered,  prior 
to  July  1,  1863,  for  a  term  of  three 
years,  and  were  honorably  discharged 
for  any  cause,  after  a  continuous  serv- 
ice of  two  years,  or  were  at  any  time 

discharged  by  reason  of  wounds  received  in  the  line  of  duty  \_  but 
no  drafted  person,  nor  substitute,  nor  any  one  who  has  at  any  time 
borne  arms  against  the  United  States  is  eligible." 

The  clause  relative  to  eligibility  to  membership  was  changed  at 
the  annual  meeting  held  at  Youngstown,  Ohio,  Feb- 
ruary 22,  1888,  and  those,  also,  were  made  eligible 
to  membership  who  volunteered  for  a  term  of  two 
years;  prior  to  July  22,  1861,  and  served  their  full 
term  of  enrollment,  unless  discharged  for  wounds 
received  in  the  line  of  duty. 

The  Order  has  a  National  Encampment,  also  Local  v  v  L  BUTTON. 
Organizations,  or  Encampments,  with  the  following 
officers:    Colonel-Commander,  Lieutenant-Colonel,   Major,  Officer 
of  the   Day,  Adjutant,  Quartermaster,  Chaplain,  Officer   of  the

Guard,  Surgeon,  Sergeant-Major,  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  Color- 
Bearer,  Sentinel,  and  Drummer,  or  Bugler. 

The  executive  authority  is  conferred  upon  the  National  officers, 
there  being  no  Department  organizations,  as  in  the  Grand  Army. 

The  first  National  Encampment  was  held  at  Pittsburgh,  Pa., 
February  18,  1887,  when  George  B.  Chalmers,  of  Pittsburgh,  was 
chosen  its  first  National  Commander. 

The  objects  of  the  "  Union  Veteran  Legion  "  are :  " First,  the  cul- 
tivation of  true  devotion  to  the  American  Government  and  insti- 
tutions ;  second,  the  moral,  social,  and  intellectual  improvement  of 
its  members  and  their  relief,  and  the  relief  of  their  widows  and 
orphans,  in  sickness  and  distress ;  third,  the  preservation  of  friendly 
relations  among  those  who  fought  for  the  safety  of  the  American 
Union ;  fourth,  by  the  personal  example  and  influence  of  its  mem- 
bers to  perpetuate  the  three  great  principles  of  '  Fraternity,  Char- 
ity, and  Patriotism,'  and  to  promote  the  interests  of  humanity ; 
fifth,  all  things  being  equal,  to  give  preference  to  its  members  in 
all  business  relations,  and  to  assist  them,  as  far  as  possible,  in  all 
honorable  ways." 

"UNION  VETERANS'  UNION." 

This  organization  was  formed  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  June  18. 
1886,  through  the  efforts  of  M.  A.  Dillon,  who  was  also  elected  its 
first  Commander-in-Chief. 

It  has  a  National  organization  and  subordinate  commands,  with 
the  following  officers:  Colonel,  Lieutenant-Colonel,  Major,  Surgeon, 
Chaplain,  Officer  of  the  Day,  Officer  of  the  Guard,  Adjutant,  Quar- 
termaster, Sergeant-Major,  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  Drum-Major, 
Color-Bearer,  and  Sentinel. 

Eligibility  to  membership  consists  in  having  had  at  least  six 
months'  continuous  service,  unless  discharged  on  account  of  wounds 
(part  of  which  must  have  been  at  the  front),  in  the  Army,  Navy, 
or  Marine  Corps  of  the  United  States,  between  April  12,  1861,  and 
April  30,  1865,  and  an  honorable  discharge  from  the  same. 


"  THE  VETERANS'  RIGHTS  UNION/' 


The  society  also  admits  to  honorary  membership  gentlemen  of 
good  moral  character,  not  entitled  to  join  as  comrades,  who  are 
willing  to  co-operate  with  the  Command  in 
promoting  the  objects  of  the  "  Union  Vet- 
erans' Union." 

The  objects  of  the  "  Union  Veterans' 
Union  "  are :  "  First,  to  preserve  and  per- 
petuate the  principles  for  which  we  con- 
tended on  many  battle-fields ;  second,  to 
recognize  the  rights  of  the  soldier  to  posi- 
tions of  public  trust,  and  the  preferment 
of  our  members  over  others  for  employ- 
ment by  the  Government,  or  by  individuals, 
other  things  being  equal ;  third,  to  demand 
of  this  Government  a  proper  appreciation 
of  their  services  and  a  just  recognition  of 
their  claims ;  fourth,  to  support,  aid,  and 
assist  in  the  election  to  positions  of  public 
trust  any  and  all  true  friends  of  the  Union 
Soldier,  irrespective  of  politics,  creed,  or 
party ;  fifth,  to  extend  to  our  comrades,  their  widows  and  orphans, 
in  time  of  need,  that  charity  that  knows  no  end." 


BADGE. 


RIGHTS    UNION." 

The  tendency  of  heads  of  departments  and  government  officials 
to  discriminate  against  the  old  soldier  in  filling  positions  of  trust 
and  profit  in  their  respective  departments,  and  to  ignore  the  rights 
of  Veterans  of  the  late  War,  who,  in  every  respect,  were  worthy 
and  competent  to  fill  such  positions,  aroused  the  righteous  indig- 
nation of  all  their  old  comrades  in  arms.  To  remedy  this  and 
secure  for  them,  at  least,  an  equal  chance  to  fill  positions  in  the 
Civil  Government,  when  there  were  vacancies  which  they  were 
competent  to  fill,  a  convention  was  called,  at  the  solicitation  of 


64  "THE  VETERANS'  RIGHTS  UNION." 

Post  No.  135,  Department  of  New  York,  to  meet  in  New  York 
city,  October  13,  1882,  "  to  consider  the  best  means  of  advancing 
the  interests  of  Veterans  employed,  or  seeking  to  be  employed,  in 
the  Local,  State,  and  National  Governments." 

In  response  to  this  call,  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  Posts  of  the 
G.  A.  R.  sent  representatives,  and  the  "  Veterans'  Rights  Union  " 
was  formed,  the  members  pledging  themselves,  in  the  resolutions 
adopted,  "  by  all  legitimate  methods,  to  maintain  the  rights  and 
assert  the  privileges  of  the  Veteran  Soldiers  and  Sailors  of  this 
land,  whenever,  wherever,  and  by  whomsoever  those  rights  and 
privileges  shall  be  menaced." 

An  Executive  Committee  of  five  was  chosen,  with  full  power  to 
act  for  the  Society,  and  they  pledged  themselves  not  to  accept  any 
position  of  trust  or  profit  under  the  Government,  during  the  time 
for  which  they  were  chosen. 

The  object,  as  explained  in  their  communications,  was  to  secure 
to  those  who  served  under  the  Government  of  the  United  States, 
during  the  late  War,  the  privileges  and  rights  guaranteed  to  them 
by  the  statutes  of  the  United  States,  or  any  State  law  that  has  been 
or  may  be  enacted  for  their  benefit. 

After  much  perseverance  and  hard  work,  the  Committee  suc- 
ceeded in  securing,  directly  and  indirectly,  the  passage  of  a  number 
of  laws  in  the  interest  of  their  cause,  and,  also,  the  ruling  of  the 
Civil  Service  Commission  of  the  United  States,  as  follows :  "  Any 
applicant  honorably  discharged  for  such  cause  (by  reason  of  dis- 
ability, resulting  from  such  wounds  and  sickness  incurred  in  the 
line  of  duty),  who,  as  the  result  of  an  examination,  had  been 
placed  upon  a  register  as  eligible  for  an  appointment,  should  be 
certified  in  preference  to  any  other  person  thereon,  not  entitled  to 
such  preference,  examined  for  the  same  part  of  the  service,  even 
though  such  persons  are  graded  higher." 

The  Association,  through  its  various  committees,  has  done  a 
great  deal  for  the  best  intersts  of  the  Veterans,  and  deserves  much 
credit  for  the  tireless  energy  of  its  members  in  their  behalf. 


"  UNION   EX-PRISONERS   OP   WAR  ASSOCIATION."  65 


Soon  after  the  close  of  the  war  a  number  of  attempts  were  made 
to  form  societies,  composed  exclusively  of  soldiers  who  had  been 
confined  in  Confederate  prisons,  but  these  attempts  were  not  suc- 
cessful until  April  9,  1874,  when  the  "  National  Union  of  Ander- 
sonville  Survivors  "  was  organized  at  Worcester,  Massachusetts ; 
Warren  Lee  Goss,  of  Norwich,  Connecticut,  being  chosen  Presi- 
dent. 

At  the  end  of  the  meeting  held  at  Hartford,  Connecticut,  April 
19,  1877,  the  title  was  changed  to  "  National  Union  of  Survivors 
of  Andersonville,  and  other  Southern  Military  Prisons."  This 
title  was  again  changed  to  "  National  Association  of  Ex-Union 
Prisoners  of  War  "  at  a  meeting  held  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  Septem- 
ber 19,  1883. 

The  meeting  for  1887  was  held  in  Chicago,  Illinois,  September 
22  and  23,  when  the  title  was  finally  changed  to  "  Union  Ex- 
Prisoners  of  War  Association,"  by  which  title  it  is  known  now, 
and  all  State  Associations  were  abolished. 

The  membership  of  the  Order  is  over  two  thousand,  and  its  ob- 
jects are  "  to  strengthen  the  ties  of  fraternal  fellowship  and  sym- 
pathy, formed  by  companionship  in  arms  during  the  Civil  War 
among  the  survivors  of  Rebel  military  prisons  ;  to  perpetuate  the 
name  and  fame  of  those  who  have  fallen  in  the  prison  pens  of  the 
South,  and  in  the  line  of  duty;  to  bind  together  in  the  most 
friendly  ties  the  survivors  of  the  above  prisons  by  joint  action  -of 
its  members  in  any  direction  which  will  secure  justice  to  the  living 
and  honor  to  the  dead,  and  to  assist  such  of  our  fellow-prisoners 
as  need  help  and  protection,  and  to  extend  needful  aid  to  the 
widows  and  orphans  of  those  who  have  fallen."

CHAPTER  VI. 

VETERAN    SOCIETIES. 

A  WHEN  peace  again  prevailed  throughout  our 
'^  land,  and  the  brave  boys  in  blue  gladly 
laid  aside  the  grim  implements  of  war  to  return 
to  their  firesides,  a  tinge  of  sadness  marred  the 
change,  welcome  as  it  was ;  the  ties  between  con- 
genial spirits  that  were  formed  amidst  the  dangers 
and  privations  of  a  great  campaign  were  not 
easily  broken.  Strong  men,  who  were  never 
known  to  quail  in  the  face  of  danger,  wept  like 
children  when  the  day  of  parting  finally  came. 

The  memories  of  the  camp  and  battle-field  were 
not  easily  to  be  forgotten,  and  but  few  regiments 
disbanded  that  did  not  provide  for  future  re- 
unions, when  they  could  meet  again  under  more 
peaceful  auspices,  and  recall  what  was  pleasant 
of  their  former  associations.  This  same  spirit 
led  to  the  organization  of  that  greatest  brother- 

We  recognize  no  flag  but  the

Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,"  as  well  as  the  other  organizations 
of  those  engaged  in  special  arms  of  the  service. 
The  first  of  these  Societies  was  the 


THIRD    ARMY    CORPS    UNION 


which  was  formed  March  16,  1862,  and  at  first  had  for  its  object 
the  raising  of  funds  for  embalming  and  sending  home  for  burial

the  bodies  of  officers  killed  in  battle  or  dying  in  hospitals  at  the 
front. 

Gen.  Sickles  was  elected  its  first  President,  and  held  that  posi- 
tion until  prevented  from  acting  by  disability. 

The  Society  developed  into  a  permanent  institution  to  which  all 
officers  or  enlisted  men  who  enlisted  in  the  3d  Corps  or  partici- 
pated in  the  battles  of  the  3d  Corps  are  eligible. 

Meetings  are  held  annually  on  May  5,  the  anniversary 'of  the 
battle  of  Williamsburg. 

SOCIETY    OF   THE    ARMY   OF   THE    TENNESSEE. 

This  Society  owes  its  origin  to  a  meeting  held  in  the  Senate 
Chamber  of  the  State  Capitol  at  Raleigh,  N.  C.,  April  14,  1865. 
Brig.^Gen.  W.  B.  Woods  presided,  and  a  committee  of  five  was 
appointed  to  prepare  a  plan  of  organization. 

At  an  adjourned  meeting  held  in  the  same  place  on  the  25th  of 
April  a  plan  of  organization  was  reported,  in  which  the  member- 
ship was  restricted  to  officers  who  had  served  in  the  "  Old  Army 
of  the  Tennessee."  This  was  afterward  amended  to  admit  into 
membership  the  relative  of  any  deceased  member  to  whom  such 
membership  should  descend  by  bequest,  and  in  default  of  such 
declaration  the  eldest  son  should  inherit  his  father's  title  to  enroll- 
ment in  the  Society.  Maj.-Gen.  John  A.  Rawlins  was  elected  its 
first  President. 

The  objects,  as  set  forth  in  the  Constitution,  are :  "  To  keep  alive 
and  preserve  that  kindly  and  cordial  feeling,  which  has  been  one 
of  the  characteristics  of  this  Army  during  its  career  in  the  service, 
and  which  has  given  it  such  harmony  of  action,  and  contributed, 
in  no  small  degree,  to  its  glorious  achievements  in  our  country's 
cause ;  the  fame  and  glory  of  all  officers  belonging  to  this  army 
who  have  fallen,  either  on  the  field  of  battle  or  in  the  line  of  their 
daily  duty,  shall  be  a  sacred  trust  to  this  Society,  which  shall  cause 
proper  memorials  of  their  services  to  be  collected  and  preserved, 
and  thus  to  transmit  their  names  with  honor  to  posterity ;  the

families  of  all  such  officers  who  shall  be  in  indigent  'circum- 
stances will  have  a  claim  upon  the  generosity  of  the  Society,  and 
will  be  relieved  by  the  voluntary  contributions  of  its  members 
whenever  brought  to  their  attention  ;  in  like  manner,  the  suffering 
families  of  those  officers  who  may  hereafter  be  stricken  by  death 
in  the  hands  of  the  survivors." 

THE    SOCIETY    OF    THE    ARMY    OF   THE    OHIO. 

This  Society  was  organized  at  a  reunion  of  the  Western  Societies 
held  in  Chicago,  Illinois,  December  15,  1868,  and  Maj.-Gen.  John 
M.  Schofield  was  elected  its  first  President. 

On  the  same  occasion  the  "  Society  of  the  Army  of  Georgia  " 
was  formed,  of  which  Maj.-Gen.  Henry  W.  Slocum  was  chosen 
President. 

THE    SOCIETY    OF    THE    ARMY    OF    THE    CUMBERLAND. 

On  the  16th  of  February,  1868,  the  organization  of  this  Society 
was  completed  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  Maj.-Gen.  George  H.  Thomas 
being  elected  President. 

The  Society  admits  to  membership  all  officers  and  enlisted  men 
who  served  in  the  Army  of  the  Cumberland  ;  its  badge,  as  formally 
adopted,  is  very  unique,  being  in  part  made  up  of  a  combination 
of  the  corps  badges  of  the  4th,  14th,  and  20th  Army  Corps. 

SIGNAL    CORPS. 

There  being  no  separate  and  distinct  organization  of  the  "  Signal 
Corps,"  a  meeting  was  called  for  that  purpose  in  Boston,  Mass.,  in 
1867,  and  on  the  14th  of  November  of  that  year  an  organization 
was  perfected,  with  Lieut.  J.  W.  Willard  Brown  as  President. 
Since  1879  meetings  of  the  Society  have  been  held  annually. 

SOCIETY    OF    THE    ARMY    OF    THE    JAMES. 

This  Society  was  organized  in  Boston,  Mass.,  September  2, 1865, 
and  Gen.  Charles  E.  Devens  was  elected  its  first  President.  Meet- 


VETERAN   SOCIETIES.  71 

ings  were  held  in  1871,   1874,  and  1876,  when  the  Society  was 
incorporated  with  the  Army  of  the  Potomac. 

SOCIETY    OF   THE   ARMY   OF   THE    POTOMAC. 

All  who  served  in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  or  in  the  10th  and 
18th  Corps,  Army  of  the  James,  are  eligible  to  membership  in 
this  Society.  It  was  first  organized  in  New  York  city  on  the  5th 
of  July,  1869,  with  Lieut.  Philip  H.  Sheridan  as  its  first  President. 
Meetings  have  been  held  each  year  since  that  time,  with  the 
exception  of  1875.  The  officers  are  elected  annually,  and  consist 
of  the  following :  President ;  one  Vice-President  from  each  of  the 
Army  Corps  belonging  to  it,  including  the  10th  and  18th  Corps, 
Army  of  the  James,  and  one  each  from  the  Artillery  Corps,  Cav- 
alry Corps,  Signal  Corps,  and  General  Staff,  respectively ;  Treasurer ; 
Recording  Secretary,  and  Corresponding  Secretary. 

SOCIETY    OF   THE    BURNSIDE    EXPEDITION    AND    THE    9TH    CORPS. 

This  Society  was  organized  in  New  York  city  February  8, 
1869,  and  Gen.  A.  E.  Burnside  was  elected  as  its  first  President, 
which  office  he  filled  until  his  death  in  1871,  when  Vice-President 
Gen.  A.  B.  R.  Sprague  filled  his  position  until  the  next  re-union, 
at  which  Gen.  John  F.  Parke  was  made  President. 

THE   SOCIETY   OF   THE    ARMY   AND   NAVY    OF   THE   GULF. 

This  Society  was  made  up  of  officers  who  had  served  in  the 
Department  of  the  Gulf,  and  was  instituted  at  Long  Branch,  N.  J., 
July  8,  1869.  Admiral  G.  D.  Farragut  was  its  first  President, 
holding  that  position  until  his  death,  when  Gen.  P.  H.  Sheridan 
succeeded  him.

"THE  CINCINNATI  SOCIETY  OF  EX-ARMY  AND  NAVY  OFFICERS." 

This  Society  was  organized  in  Cincinnati,  O.,  October  2,  1874, 
and  Col.  Stanley  Matthews  was  elected  its  first  President. 

The  object  of  the  Society  is :  "  To  preserve  the  feeling  of  friend- 
ship and  cordiality  among  those  who  served  in  our  National 
forces  during  the  struggle  for  the  preservation  of  the  Republic, 
and  also  to  keep  a  record  of  its  members." 

Meetings  are  held  quarterly,  also  annually  on  the  third  Thursday 
in  January. 


In  1861  Governor  Curtin,  of  Pennsylvania,  organized  15  Regi- 
ments which  were  known  as  "  The  Pennsylvania  Reserve  Corps," 
anticipating  a  call  for  troops  to  serve  three  years.  These  Regi- 
ments were  engaged  in  active  service  from  the  time  of  their  muster- 
in  until  the  close  of  the  war.  A  number  of  the  surviving  members 
met  in  Philadelphia  July  3,  1866,  and  resolved  to  form  a  perma- 
nent organization,  calling  a  meeting  for  that  purpose  at  Lancaster, 
Pa.,  September  14,  1866,  when  they  formally  organized  and  elected 
Gov.  A.  G.  Curtin  President. 

The  object  of  the  Society  is :  "  To  cherish  the  memories,  per- 
petuate the  friendships,  and  continue  the  associations  formed  in 
the  field." 

SOCIETY    OF    THE    ARMY    OF   ARKANSAS. 

This  Society  was  organized  in  the  United  States  Senate  Cham- 
ber, Washington,  D.  C.,  in  February,  1888.  It  has  a  total  mem- 
bership of  about  one  thousand,  derived  from  service  with  the 
troops  constituting  the  Seventh  Army  Corps,  west  of  the  Missis- 
sippi, and  the  Army  of  the  Frontier.  Its  object  is  much  the  same 
as  Army  Societies  generally.

THE  UNION  ARMY. 

(SUBDIVIDED.) 

TN  addition  to  the  Signal  and  Engineer  Corps,  which  were  distinct 
*  branches  of  the  service,  Hancock's  Corps,  composed  of  volun- 
teer veterans,  Sheridan's  Cavalry  Corps,  Kilpatrick's  Division  of 
Cavalry,  and  Wilson's  Cavalry,  the  Union  Army  during  the  war 
was  subdivided  into  twenty-five  Army  Corps.  These  Corps  were 
designated  by  the  badges  represented  on  the  opposite  page  with  the 
exception  of  the  21st  Corps,  which  never  adopted  a  badge,  and 
the  badge  of  the  13th  Corps,  which  was  adopted  after  the  close  of 
the  war.  These  badges  were  originally  stamped  out  of  flannel 
cloth,  and  were  worn  conspicuously  on  the  front  of  the  soldiers' 
caps.  The  color  of  the  badge  indicated  the  Corps  Division,  namely, 
Red,  the  1st  Division ;  White,  the  2d  Division ;  Blue,  the  3d  Divis- 
ion ;  Orange,  the  4th  Division  ;  and  Green,  the  5th  Division.  The 
idea  of  the  Corps  Badge  appears  to  have  originated  in  Philip 
Kearny's  Division.  In  1862,  Kearny  ordered  his  officers  and 
men  to  wear  a  red  patch  on  their  caps,  so  that  he  might  distin- 
guish them  from  those  of  other  commands.  The  Corps  Badges 
were  first  officially  ordered  in  the  spring  of  1863,  and  were  imme- 
diately adopted  by  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  but  in  the  Western 
armies  they  did  not  appear  on  the  men's  caps  until  1864.  These 
badges  were  also  painted  on  the  wagons  of  the  Corps,  and  stenciled 
on  all  its  articles  of  public  property. 

CORPS    SUBDIVISIONS. 

The  various  Army  Corps  were  organized,  for  the  most  part,  with 
three  Divisions,  each  Division  containing  three  Brigades,  and  each 
Brigade  consisting  of  five  Regiments,  making  forty-five  Regiments 

75 


76  OFFICIAL   RANK. 

of  Infantry  in  a  Corps,  to  which  were  added  about  nine  Batteries 
of  Light  Artillery.  The  Infantry  Regiments  consisted  of  ten 
Companies,  of  one  hundred  and  one  men  each ;  the  Artillery  and 
Cavalry  Regiments  consisted  of  twelve  companies,  of  one  hundred 
and  three  and  one  hundred  and  five  men  each. 

This  form  of  division  was  adhered  to  only  as  a  general  rule,  and 
was  varied  at  times  to  meet  temporary  exigencies.  The  greatest 
variation  occurred  in  the  Brigades,  the  depletion,  at  times,  of  some 
Regiments  making  additional  ones  necessary  to  keep  up  a  proper 
effective  strength.  Occasionally  a  Corps  would  consist  of  from 
four  to  five  Divisions,  and  during  the  Atlanta  Campaign  some 
Brigades  of  the  Fourth  and  Fourteenth  Corps  contained  as  high  as 
nine  Regiments.  Fifteen  hundred  men  to  a  regiment  was  not  an 
uncommon  occurrence,  but  such  irregularities  were  exceptional,  and 
generally  proved  to  be  but  temporary  arrangements. 

HOW    DESIGNATED. 

The  Regiments  enlisting  from  each  State  were  numbered  from 
one  upward.  The  Companies  of  the  Infantry  Regiments  were  des- 
ignated by  the  letters  of  the  alphabet  from  A  to  K  ;  the  Companies 
or  Troops  of  the  Cavalry  Regiments  and  the  Companies  or  Bat- 
teries of  the  Artillery  Regiments  from  A  to  M,  the  J  being  omitted 
in  all  cases. 

OFFICIAL    RANK. 

The  members  of  an  Infantry  Company,  in  the  order  of  their  rank, 
were  as  follows  :  Captain,  First  Lieutenant,  Second  Lieutenant, 
Sergeant,  Corporal,  Musician,  Wagoner,  and  Private.  The  mem- 
bers of  an  Artillery  Company,  in  the  order  of  their  rank,  were 
the  same  as  the  Infantry,  with  the  exception  of  the  Bugler  and 
Artificer.  The  members  of  a  Cavalry  Company  were  the  same 
as  the  Infantry,  with  the  exception  of  the  Bugler,  Blacksmith, 
Farrier,  and  Saddler. 


OFFICIAL   RANK.  77 

The  officers  were  either  commissioned  or  non-commissioned.  The 
commissioned  officers  of  a  Company  were  Captain,  First  Lieutenant, 
and  Second  Lieutenant. 

The  officers  of  an  Infantry  and  Artillery  Regiment,  in  the  order 
of  their  rank,  were  Colonel,  Lieutenant-Colonel,  Major,  Adjutant, 
Quartermaster,  Surgeon,  Assistant  Surgeon,  Chaplain,  Sergeant- 
Major,  Quartermaster-Sergeant,  Commissary  Sergeant,  Hospital 
Steward,  and  Principal  Musician.  In  addition  to  the  above  the 
Cavalry  Regiments  had  a  Chief  Bugler  or  Trumpeter,  Saddler- 
Sergeant,  and  Veterinary  Surgeon. 

The  commissioned  Field  and  Staff  Officers  of  a  Regiment  were 
Colonel,  Lieutenant-Colonel,  Major,  Surgeon,  Assistant  Surgeon, 
Adjutant,  Quartermaster,  and  Chaplain. 

The  Corps,  Divisions,  Brigades,  and  different  armies  were  com- 
manded by  Brigadier  and  Major-Generals,  in  the  order  of  their 
rank  and  line  of  promotion. 

The  entire  Union  forces  were  subject  to  the  orders  of  a  Com- 
mander-in-Chief,  who,  in  turn,  was  subservient  to  the  orders  of 
the  War  Department.  Winfield  S.  Scott  was  Commander-in-Chief 
at  the  time  the  war  broke  out.  He  was  succeeded  by  Gen.  Geo. 
B.  McClellan,  November  1,  1861 ;  McClellan  was  succeeded  by 
Gen.  H.  W.  Halleck,  July  11,  1862,  and  Halleck  was  succeeded  by 
Gen.  U.  S.  Grant,  March  9,  1864. 

Prior  to  the  restoration  of  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-General, 
which  was  restored  on  the  26th  day  of  February,  1864,  by  an  act 
of  Congress,  Secretary  of  War  Edwin  M.  Stanton  persisted  in  ex- 
ercising the  power  of  the  War  Department  to  dictate  to  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief the  movements  of  the  Union  forces.  General 
Grant,  when  offered  the  Lieutenant-Generalship,  said  that  he  would 
accept  it  only  on  the  condition  that  he  should  have  "  absolute  con- 
trol." Mr.  Stanton  was  opposed  to  giving  Grant  so  much  power, 
but  President  Lincoln  declared  that  Grant's  request  should  be 
complied  with,  thus  exercising  the  President's  constitutional  power 
of  command  over  the  entire  army  and  navy.  General  Grant  re- 


78  OFFICIAL    RANK. 

ceived  his  commission  as  Lieutenant-General  on  the  9th  day  of 
March,  1864,  and  three  days  later  assumed  command,  relieving 
Major-General  H.  W.  Halleck. 

NAVAL    OFFICERS. 

The  Naval  officers,  in  the  order  of  their  rank,  were  as  follows :

These  lists  contain  the  gist  of  ponderous  volumes  on  file  at  Wash- 
ington and  in  the  archives  of  the  different  States,  so  far  as  they 
record  the  history  of  nearly  five  thousand  sanguinary  conflicts 
between  the  l^lue  and  the  (Jray. 

The  absolute  value  of  this  alphabetical  arrangement  is  apparent, 
as  almost  any  soldier  can  remember  the  names  of  the  battles  in 
which  he  participated,  but  very  few  can  remember  the  exact  dates, 
without  which  knowledge  it  is  extremely  difficult  to  obtain  infor- 
mation from  any  of  the  chronologicallista  heretofore  published. 

The  following  pages  have,  also,  an  associated  value,  in  that  they 
are  necessary  supplements  to  the  soldier's  or  sailor's  individual 
Record  of  Service.  Xot  one  of  the  rarious  styles  of  record  of 
serrice  picture  or  "escutcheon"  which  have  been  sold  by  different 
firms  throughout  the  country  is  complete  without  reference  to  an 
alphabetical  list  of  engagements.  This  Manual  supplies  'that 
long- felt  want. 

The  publishers  of  this  Manual  are  prepared  to  furnish  in  cer- 
tificate form,  over  their  corporate  seal,  the  Hecord  of  Service  of 
any  reyiment,  or  the  personal  Record  of  any  soldier  who  served 
during  the  Civil  War.

'"THE  majority  of  the  certificates  of  Honorable  Discharge  issued 
by  the  Government  to  the  Union  soldiers  have  been  so  de- 
faced by  time  and  wear  that  to-day  they  are  scarcely  legible. 

This  documentary  evidence  of  the  services  rendered  by  the 
"  brave  boys  in  blue  "  during  the  dark  days  of  rebellion,  suffering, 
and  bloodshed  which  marked  the  years  from  '61  to  '05  will  in- 
crease in  value  to  the  soldier's  descendants  as  the  years  go  by.  It 
is  but  natural,  therefore,  that  sons  and  daughters  of  veterans 
should  wish  to  preserve  a  copy  of  this  written  testimony  of  their 
father's  loyalty  to  his  country,  and  that  the  original  should  be  filed 
away  under  lock  and  key,  with  other  valuable  papers,  to  prevent  its 
being  lost  or  destroyed. 

The  blank  forms  immediately  following  will  enable  each  soldier's 
family  to  preserve  in  book  form,  for  ready  reference,  an  exact  copy 
of  the  father's  honorable  discharge.

"  'Tis  sweet  to  remember,  I  would  not  forego 
The  charm  which  the  past  o'er  the  present  can  throw, 
For  all  the  gay  visions  that  Fancy  may  weave, 
Which,  in  their  illusions,  shine  but  to  deceive." 

This  little  two-year  old  Son  of  Veteran  wants  facts,  not  fiction, 
and  by  the  aid  of  the  Colonel's  spectacles  thinks  he  is  getting  them. 


The  following  blank  and  ruled  pages  intended  for  preserving 
to  future  generations  personal  memoirs  of  the  war,  newspaper  clip-

encampments  and  other  reminiscences  which  the  soldier  or  any 
member  of  his  family  may  desire  to  preserve,  will  increase  in  value 
as  the  years  go  by,  and  will  be  much  more  satisfactory  to  his  chil-

PART   V. 


PENSIONS. 


Pensions  issued  to  the  survivors  of  the  war  for  the  preservation 
of  the  Union  are  not  alms.  They  are  but  part  of  the  debt  the 
American  Nation  owes  its  soldiers  and  sailors.  Pensions  are  life 
annuities,  the  premiums  having  been  fully  paid  up  with  the  close 
of  the  war  in  1865. 

All  civilized  nations  have  issued  pensions  in  some  form  to  those 
who  risked  their  lives  in  the  country's  defense  and  honor.  It  is, 
comparatively,  a  modern  idea,  to  issue  them  to  survivors  of  wars 
who  were  not  wounded  in  battle. 

Civilization,  however,  has  advanced  with  rapid  strides  in  our 
day.  The  prevailing  patriotism,  deep  sense  of  justice  and  ever- 
growing gratitude  of  the  American  people  to  those  who  fought  the 
country's  battles,  have  caused  our  law-givers  to  issue  pensions  to 
survivors  of  all  our  wars. 

The  statistics  at  the  close  of  this  volume  will  show,  somewhat  in 
detail,  the  amounts  paid  out  for  pensions  from  1861  to  1898 
inclusive. 

Perhaps  the  accusation,  that  large  sums  of  money  are  paid  out 
yearly  by  this  munificent  Government  to  unworthy  recipients  in  the 
form  of  pensions,  is  well  founded.  Doubtless  there  have  been  some 
fraud  and  deception.  All  patriotic  citizens  regret  this  fact,  but  the 
unanimity  of  sentiment  in  this  great,  rich  country,  great  in  a 
mighty,  free,  homogeneous,  law-abiding  people,  great  in  progress, 
in  material  productions,  in  accumulated  wealth,  does  not  begrudge 
the  veterans  their  just  claim  upon  the  bounty  of  the  Nation. 

The  circumstances  which  justify  the  issuing  of  $150,000,000  in 
pensions  in  1899  are  peculiar  to  this  country.  We  are  just  begin- 
ning to  comprehend  the  value  of  the  priceless  legacy  preserved  to 
us  by  the  valor  of  the  Boys  in  Blue. 

The  outcome  of  the  struggle  in  the  great  war  for  the  preservation 
of  the  Union  depended  wholly  upon  the  number  of  soldiers  which 
could  be  promptly  rallied  under  "Old  Glory"  for  its  defense.  It 

250 


PENSIONS.  251 

was  a  war  between  giants.  No  soldiers  ever  faced  a  braver,  more 
determined,  unconquerable  foe,  for  were  they  not  our  own 
brothers?  Were  they  not  Americans  as  ourselves?  Who  knew  to 
do  and  dare  better  than  they? 

Oh,  the  cost,  in  blood  and  treasure  to  the  Great  Republic,  of 
that  war  of  the  States !  The  deep  silence  of  the  national  cemeteries 
speak,  in  part,  for  the  dead.  How  many  other  thousands  sleep 
where  they  perished  and  lie  where  they  fell !  What  pen  shall  truth- 
fully describe  the  horrors  of  the  prison  pen? 

Let  one  who  questions  the  validity  of  the  ex-soldiers'  claim  on 
the  Nation's  bounty,  weigh,  in  the  balance,  the  exposures,  fatigues, 
excitements,  toils,  privations,  hardships  of  any  great  campaign,  as 
the  one  against  Atlanta  in  the  summer  of  1864.  And  this  is  but 
one  specimen  of  the  many  campaigns  during  those  four  memorable 
years.  With  iron,  will  and  nerves  of  steel,  under  the  creative 
stimulus  of  patriotic  zeal,  against  a  mighty  array  of  armed  heroes 
as  courageous  and  determined  as  themselves,  they  ceaselessly  kept 
up  the  fight  with  ever-increasing  demands  upon  heart,  brain  and 
brawn,  and  when  the  reaction  came,  came  multitudes  of  incurable 
ailments,  which,  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century,  have  baffled 
the  skill  of  scientists  and  of  the  most  learned  physicians  in  the  land. 

The  Nation  awoke  to  this  truth,  at  last,  when  a  justice-loving 
people,  from  a  deep  sense  of  abiding  gratitude  ever  growing  upon 
them,  instructed  their  representatives  in  Congress  to  pass  the  Pen- 
sion Law  of  June  27,  1890. 

The  men  who  fought  to  save  the  Union  are  not  looters  of  the 
Treasury;  they  are  patriots.  They  are  devoted  to  the  interests  of 
the  whole  country,  as  they  were  from  '61  to  '65.  They  earnestly 
wish  to  keep  in  close  touch  with  the  true  spirit  of  America  and 
American  institutions.  From  their  inmost  heart  they  desire  to  be 
the  Grand  Army  of  the  Republic,  grand  in  every  sense  of  the  term. 
They  desire  to  be  to  the  Nation  what  the  Old  Guard  was  to 
Napoleon. 

In  1961  societies  will  be  organized  as  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the 
Civil  War,  as  now  "Sons  and  Daughters  of  the  Revolution."  It 
will  be  then  a  mark  of  distinction  to  trace  with  reverential  pride 
the  records  of  the  service  of  their  ancestors.  Why  shall  it  not  be 
so  now? 

"Seven  Grecian  cities  contended  for  the  birthplace  of  Homer  dead, 
In  which  cities  the  living  Homer  was  obliged  to  beg  his  bread," 


252  PENSIONS. 

We  adorn  with  floral  offerings  the  funeral  caskets  containing  the 
precious  bodies  of  our  loved  ones,  flowers  we  frequently  denied  to 
them  living.  What  tender,  loving  words  we  write  as  epitaphs  for 
those  whose  services  we  greatly  undervalued  while  living! 

Shall  the  gratitude  of  the  American  people,  to  those  who  pre- 
served the  Union,  be  measured  otherwise  than  by  the  financial 
ability  of  this  great  people  to  respond  to  the  demands  of  just  pen- 
sion legislation? 

We  are  only  paying  interest  on  part  of  the  debt  we  owe  the, 
veterans.  The  principal  we  can  never  pay. 

When  the  war  closed  between  the  States  the  public  debt  was  one- 
tenth  of  the  wealth  of  the  country.  It  is  now  one-seventieth.  A 
new  Nation  of  40,000,000  has  been  added  to  the  population.  Then 
the  accumulated  wealth  of  the  country  was  $20,000,000,000;  now 
it  is  nearly  four  times  that  aggregate.  May  we  not  consider  the 
$60,000,000,000  as  the  gain  in  material  resources  since  the  war? 

The  Boys  in  Blue  preserved  the  Nation  in  its  political  unity  as 
one  people,  as  God  intended  it  should  be.  Have  they  not  earned  a 
small  percentage  for  life  on  this  added  capital  to  the  stock  of  the 
country?  One  hundred  and  fifty  million  dollars,  the  sum  estp 
mated  to  pay  for  pensions  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 
181)0,  is  but  one-fourth  of  one  per  cent  interest  on  this  vast  sum 
saved  and  added  to  the  resources  of  the  Republic.  This  principal 
will  ever  increase  to  infinity,  this  percentage  will  ever  decrease  to 
zero. 

Shall  any  true  patriot  begrudge  to  the  veterans  for  a  very  few 
years  more  this  small  percentage  of  the  vast,  ever-growing  financial 
resources  of  this  Nation? 

Nay,  verily,  the  time  approaches  when  with  unanimous  voice  the 
American  Congress  shall  take  one  step  further,  and  from  the  rock 
of  never -failing  financial  resources  shall  cause  to  issue  forth  a 
copious  stream  to  be  known  in  history  as  the  "Service  Pension 
Law"  which  shall  flow  in  continuous  volume  to  make  glad  the 
hearts  and  homes  of  the  survivors  of  the  War  for  the  Union,  until, 
one  by  one,  they  shall  answer  the  last  roll-call,  and,  in  obedience 
to  the  summons  of  the  Great  Commander,  they  shall  be  "mustered 
out." 

The  verdict  of  history  shall  be:  "They  fought  a  good  fight;" 
they  kept  inviolate  the  faith  our  Fathers  pledged  at  Lexington  and 
Bunker  Hill.  They  made  possible  Washington's  prophecy,  that 


PENSIONS.  253 

our  glorious  Star-Spangled  Banner  should  wave  over  a  nation  of 
freemen  a  thousand  years, 

"That  the  Sons  of  Columbia  shall  never  be  slaves, 
While  the  earth  bears  a  plant  or  the  sea  rolls  its  waves." 

High  in  the  American  soldier 's  Temple  of  Fame  shall  be  written 
these  words:  "They  met  and  overcame  the  greatest  rebellion  the 
world  ever  saw.  The  stake  for  which  they  contended  was  the 
greatest  ever  submitted  to  the  arbitrament  of  arms.  They  main- 
tained the  political  unity  of  the  States.  They  solved  the  mooted 
question  of  man's  capacity  for  self-government.  They  broke  the 
fetters  of  human  slavery.  They  caused  the  dawn  of  Universal 
Liberty.  They  have  helped  carry  out  Lincoln's  divine  injunction 
at  Gettysburg,  'With  malice  toward  none,  with  charity  for  all.' 
They  have  received  the  New  South  with  open  arms.  'These  men 
shall  pass  away  as  a  tale  that  is  told,  but  their  work  shall  endure 
forever.'  "
